Interchange of Civilities, and Peace made.

The following morning we had a further meeting, when a few of the party had expressed an unwillingness to meet Heuheu on friendly terms. It was then considered that from the overwhelming numbers at this place it would be better to warn Heuheu from coming there, which having been done, he expressed himself highly pleased with such kind consideration. The people of Ihupuku much regretted that the meeting with Heuheu had been opposed: they accordingly wrote a very friendly letter, a copy of which is enclosed, and which I read to Heuheu at Kai-iwi, who returned the enclosed answer, which concluded peace between the tribes, who then dispersed themselves on their return to their homes.
