Translation.

July 17th, 1857.

Friend the Governor,,—

Salutations to you. What we have to say concerns the Europeans who are residing on Pukekohe; it will be for you to cause those Europeans to move on to the Queen's part. It is our intention to go and work that place. This is the third letter we have sent to you.

From Mohi.

To His Excellency the Governor.
