settled between you. He also says that the only way in which you will see him will be to drop upon him unawares in this manner, he does not think he will be prevailed upon to meet you in any of our settlements. He also tells me that Tawhiao while speaking to him expressed himself as being desirous of meeting you -- "stating that he still carried his axe in his hand". I asked, should you meet him will he give you his axe & Hone said I suppose so as his desire is to "noho tahi" with you -- I presume make peace. Watere goes on to say that if you should come to Raglan and he send a letter telling you to come to Kawhia, you must up anchor and steam for there (for his kainga), as that is the only way in which you will see him (Tawhiao). You are not to be afraid of treachery or that any evil will happen or that he Tawhiao will decamp on beholding the steamer.
