Waioratane, Waiapu, 21st June, 1861. To the Governor, — Friend, my loving friend; tena koe, in the goodness of God during the present times. The people of this place are displeased with the vexatious proceedings of Te Rangilake and VVaikato. Rom. 13, i —5. That is the word to you. Friend, this is the word of the great council of Waiapu. They are pleased at being invited to the conference, but consider the inability of thft conference (to effect any good) during the vexatious doingsof Te Rangitake. Our opinion is, we shall not be able to attend. The people think it would be better for you and Mr. McLean to visit us, to give effect to the expressed desire for the union of the two races. VVaikato! yoar presumptuous resistance to England—your Teacher. From your affectionate friend Te Mokena Kohere.
