Te Wairoa Decr. 19th, 68 To Te Kowhai to Tapiki To Mani hera tikirau to Paora Rawaha to Hapurona Kohi to Whenua Nui To Pairau te Rangikaitupuake and to the Uriwera tribe generally Friends, salutations to you all this is sufficient greeting Friends we have this to say to you remain as heretofore in peace. ''More More'' has arrived conveying the sentiments which you imparted to him and which are very satisfactory. You say let it be for us to infringe the peace established during the lifetime of Pitiera. Attend you now! this peace has been already broken by Te Waru and by Ngatimate Wai in that Ngatimate wai were accessory to the slaughter of Karaitiana's party - this we know from the perusal of letters on the subject. If as you say your sentiments are really what they ought to be, drive from admidst you that tribe to this side of the Waikare Lake lest you who are dwelling in good repute be contaminated by them. Drive them to this side that our quarrel with Ngati matewai may be fought out in the light of day as is the fashion with chiefs that the right may be seen in the sunlight - that which is utterly detestable is murder. Make haste to drive from amidst you my enemy be quick and set him apart from you; and remember that should he continue to remain that we will seek him out for we fear him not and what though Waikare Lake intervene we will reach him altho' we should need to provide a canoe for the purpose even this you know is not beyond our ability. There remains Messrs. but this injunction to you - set forth from out your boundaries these people Raro Maniheri and Ngatimatewai. This is the final ending to our words to you From Paora te Apatu Toha Rahu Rahu Tamihana Huatu Maraki Kohea Hamana Tiakiwai Maihi Kai Moana on behalf of all the people Geo B.
