To the Governor and Kemp Wellington Wairarapa 13 May 1839 To Kemp and the Governor Sirs, Greetings to you both. This is what I have to say to you about the arrangement that we made, the administrators, and you, the judges. The arrangement is not yet finally completed, but I say to you that it will be thus in future that when it comes to settling our business, we will settle it at once. That first matter has been made known, and what we wanted was four thousand in one year, and if paid[?] by you, then this arrangement of ours will be finally settled. If it is not properly settled, then it will not be finished. Friend, Kemp, another matter we heard about was that the administrator for Wairarapa is coming to us again, the distributor of the money. If that is correct, it is good. Furthermore, have consensus in your plan in order to bring the divergent views of the elders together. So our talk remains before us. If that man is in Port Nicholson, well, write me a letter so I will know; both of you write in answer to my letter which I.Tare will bring to you. Sirs, Kemp, will you both consider me in respect of some shoes, one pair, as a sign of your love for me? I truly pray for you both, sirs, that Wairarapa will swiftly be united, perhaps soon hereafter. From me, from your good friend, Anaru Rongotua of Tauanui [Note following] 'Wairarapa. 13 May 1849.
