October 14, 1854. O Sirs, the Europeans,—This is the first time I have visited you my parents, the Governor and Major Nugent. Sirs, salutations to you all —to all the Europeans. I have come to look after our good speeches, and kindly relations to one another. You have all heard of my good speeches uttered formerly, and now it is my intention to continue to speak that which is good, in regard to you all, O white people. Friends, I will always speak well of you Europeans. Sirs, do you hearken, these are my sentiments, and I will abide by them for ever and ever, Amen. Enough—the end. (Signed) Taraia. To the Governor, Auckland.
