THE NATIVE INSURRECTION.

Hearken. This will be wrong, very wrong, very wrong. According to me the boundary of the Pakehas is settled, it ii Waitaha. Enough. Let them remain there. Let your word be strong to the Governor and Mr. McLean to cease their importunity regarding Waitara, so that we and the Pakehag may sit quiet. You write to me, that I may hear. Euough. Salutations to you. From Wiremu Kingi Wiiiti. No. 6. SECOND LETTER FROM WILLIAM KING TO ARCHDEACON HADFIELD. Kaipakapako, Hurae 27, 1859. E hoa c Te Harawira, — Tena ra koe.

Friend Mr. Hadfield, — Salutations to you. Great is my love for you. Your letter has reached me, for this your love has come to me, the love of my parents who are dead. You, the one living, your clear words have reached me, and I have seen them. Hearken. The Pakehas still hold to their determination of taking (apprehending) me for my hardness (firmness) in holding the ground. If indeed, you had not heard the word which you quote (in your letter) to me. Is it not so, you and Te Wiremu (Williams) heard the words of Rere (Reretawhangawhanga) relative to Waitara (saying) that it should be held ? that was Rere's word and mine, and that word was also from you two. This is another word of mine. Do not you be dark. Mr. Parris is the Pakeha who is persisting. Great is the obstinacy of that Pakeha. Mr. Parris has also talked of my being shot with a gun, and simply burying me outside, in our cultivations, (I am) not to be taken to the grave •yard. It was his plan (or idea) to fetch Te Waitere, he died, and in like manner by Mr. Parris also shall I die. That Pakeha, Mr. Parris, is glad that I should die, so that he may get the land. He rejoiced also at the death of Te Waitere (Katatore) that the land might be clear. I therefore considered that the thought is with you, the Governor, and with Mr. McLean, as to that Pakeha, Mr, Parris, to do away with the plan he persists in of getting Waitara. The system of that Pakeha, Mr. Parris, is a bad system, he leads by roads upon which men go astray, for I have heard of a word of Mr. McLean's, saying that lamto be apprehended. It was said to Ihaia Kirikumara. Enough of this. Do you hearken. Peace has been made by Matiu Te Waero, with Ihaia Kirikumara, who has been at Waitara. Do you hearken, I am living outside, I shall not see Ihaia. Do you hearken to my thoughts relative to the word you wrote me on the subject of Christianity. My thoughts are upon your word, that is, upon belief in Our Lord Jesus Christ. Hearken, I will hold to your word till Igo and see you. Enough. From me, Wiremu Kingi Whiti.
