Rangiawhia, Aug. 25, 1857. Friend, the Editor of the Maori Mes-senger,-Salutations to you. Friend, be strong to write, that we may see and understand the good rules contained in the Maori Messenger. Friend, the Maori Messenger is very clear, because liiis is the enlightenment of the heart. I)o you hearken, our hearts greatly srjoicc because of the words printed in the
newspaper. This is what we now say to the Editor of the Maori Messenger. Persevere in writing, and continue to give instruction to those who are still living in ignorance. Hearken! Hearken! O Assembly of the Governor, although at the Bay of Islands, Taranaki, Whanganui, Wellington, Heretaunga or Auckland; although in the North, South, or Mainland ; yet our friends and European relatives, do you all listen. We were found living in ignorance, but now, by having adopted those good regulations given us by the Europeans, we have acquired wealth, and hearts to appreciate the good things of the Europeans; to breed cattle and sheep, and to reclaim the waste lands. We are very much pleased with these good and industrious regulations; by following them we shall acquire wealth. They are also pleasant, and therefore wc approve of theuu This is all we have to say to the Editor of the Maori Messenger. (Signed) Taati Te Warn. Wirihana Te Kuaha. Tamuti. Te Munu. Taati Hou.
