Raglan, December 29th. 1873. My dear Sir, Hone te One tells me that the Kuiti people found fault with Tiria for bringing Tawhiao's little daughter over to this township. They do not censure her for coming herself. This is what he has heard from other persons, and is not sure that it is true. I also learn from other sources that Tapihana is detained at Kuiti, where it is intended to make him reside. He is not to return to Kawhia. I should say to compel this individual to do anything he did not approve of, would be a difficult task. Therefore, should he remain at Kuiti, it will be his own desire to do so. I am giving you this rumour, just as I heard it. You will doubtless know how far it is true. It is further reported here that in consequence of some act of Tapihana's, during the visit to Alexandra and Cambridge, will prevent the visit of the King and party to Mangatawhia,
