Pa, a building erected for the worship of God. The remains, also, of the soldiers who fell at this place have been removed, and placed beside it. Friend! Old thoughts have been buried. The burial place is "maike", (the flag staff); which has been replaced in its former position. The emblem of truth is now flying at this place, - "The peace and goodwill of Queen Victoria." One word more we would address to you. You being the first Governor who has held a Meeting at this place, we ask you to think of a head-stone to mark the spot where our dead soldiers are lying, seeing they are now placed in ground which has been consecrated for the burial of the dead. (Signed) Heta te Hara, and others.
