WAIRARAPA.
Akuhata 11, 1864. Ki a Hemi te Miha.— E koro, tenarakoe. Tenei te kupu kia rongo mai koe—kua mate a Wereta. Ko te mate ra tenei; kua riro katoa ona pihi whenua ite takutai mo tona he ki Wainuioru. Riro ake £BOO pauna me nga pihi whenua hoki o te Wereta; he mea tono marire Da nga tangata o Wainuioru ki a te Kupa kia hoatu nga wahi whenua o to matua. He mea tohe hoki na te Kupu kia wnakaaetia e te Wereta: whakaaetia ana ate wereta—heoi, no konei pouri ana ate Wereta. No te kitenga o te iwi, o te Kupa hoki. ka pouri a te Wereta katahi ka whakahokia mai nga wahi whenua o te Wereta—otira, ko etahi i pai, ko etahi kaore i pai, kite whakahoki mai. Heoi, ko matou ko a taua matua. ko te Manihera te Kehu, ko Raniera te Iho, ki bai i pai kite whakahokinga mai; no te mea he mea ata tono marire, he mea ata hoatu marire hoki i te ra e whiti ana. Otira tenei ano te tino whakaaro i kore ai au e pai. ara matou, he tupatono matou; he penei na—taihoa, amua, amua ka taunutia a te Wereta, he whakamokaikai ta ratou mahi ki a te Wereta. Kati te kupu ki a koe; mau e mohio iho. Te whakahoki tika ki ta matou nei whakaaro ma te Kawana e whakahoki mai nga kainga o te Wereta, kaore e pai ma te iwi nei. Titiro lana ki nga mate o mua; ka mate i te matenga, ka whakaorangia, ka waiho tenahei ki wbakakuare mo muri iho. Heoi, ma korua ko te Aruhe e haeroatu ki a te Makanni. Na to tuakaua papa. Na Heremaia Tamaihotua. [Kua taia e matou tenei reta a Heremaia Tamaihotua ; tenei hoki ta matou kupu, ara—kaore matou e mohio ana kite take i mea ai aua tangata ki nga whenua ate Wereta. Ko ena wahi i waihotia e te Kawanatanga i te takutai, nana ake ano, na te Wereta. Kua tango te iwi nei, a ■Ngaitahu, i te moni mo a ratou whenua i Wainuioru—kia peheatia atu hoki I Kati pea ki a -atou.]
