a letter arrived from the Ngapuhi chiefs urging them to give the murderers up, but no public discussion ensued although a crier tried to get the people together saying "haere mai kia rongo i te mate mou" I repeatedly heard Rewi and others speak casually of the "Kohuru" I could see that the perpetrators were in bad odour they form a small turbulent section who look with displeasure upon anything tending to bring about friendly relations The invitation to Ngapuhi has nothing political about it. Hone Te One reminded the King party of Potatau's maxims, "kia mau ki te pakeha, kia mau ki te whakapuro, kia mau ki te turi"! They answere "Koia tena" and shortly after the great korero was over Rewi said "he kupu na nga mea mate, ko Ngapuhi ka karangatia" (another of Potatau's maxims was "kia mau ki Ngapuhi) it was not till evening that the Ngapuhi letter arrived. Five men (Rainuha among them) were selected to go and invite Ngapuhi they came down with us and as we were getting into our canoe at Hettits, Rewi said, since we fought with Ngapuhi we have never cultivated their friendship in any way, we have never gone to "kimi huanga, ki te kimi taonga rami, pu raru" but now we want to be friends with everybody.
