Tikapa, Waiapu October 18th. 1872. Oh our Friend, Salutations to you. We are still living quietly here, bearing in mind your word that we were to remain quiet in your absence, so that friend, you have quietened us, and the tribe has been saved by you at this time. After you left, Mr. Campbell came to see us, and expressed his condemnation of your coming to us. because you came unauthorised into his boundaries, laying down rules. However, we, the whole tribe, were saved by your coming to us, and our word is that you alone are to have the management of this disturbance. We do not like Mr. Campbell, nor his talk. Here is a Native proverb - "After you have drunk blood, then you begin to talk peaceably." The first words that Mr. Campbell commenced blaming were, - his having said that he had Wiremu's arms. He says that he never said anything of the kind, and it was a falsehood of yours. Another thing was Mr. Campbell's saying when he arrived in Wellington, he would speak to the Government about sending some Chiefs from other districts to settle this quarrel. I said Captain Porter has already mentioned that Mr. Campbell said Captain Porter has nothing whatever to do with this District. Thirdly his asking who it was that sent you here. I said Mr. Stafford. He said Mr. Stafford is ousted, and my opinion is he (Porter) came of his own accord. These words of Mr. Campbell's are quite correct condemning you. It was at a large Meeting that these words were spoken. James was his interpreter. From your friend, (Signed) Paora Haenga Epeniha Whaikaho Karaitiana. To: - Capt. Porter.
