CORRESPONDENCE.
THE LATE IHAIA TE WHAKAMAIRU.
To The Editor, Sir,—Will you allow us to correct a few errors concerning the late Ihaia te Whakamairu and of his sickness and periodical dippings which appeared in your issue of May 1, as we were personally acquainted, and had lived with him and in his house from September 1885, up to the time of his death. We have never witnessed, nor do we know any person who has ever seen any of those dippings. As your paper states he was well conversant with the Scriptures, he would know that we only baptize once, and that for the remission of sins, and he was well conversant with our principles—that is, of the Mormon Church, and those are the same as was taught by Jesus Christ. In regard to the deceased, his life is worthy of emulation, Edward Newby, E. L. Davies, Mormon Elders.
