Waikato messengers as to the purport of the invitation whether it was a continuation of the peace you had initiated with Tawheao - They replied No - Hei aha tera - that this was a purely native matter ''Te maui ano ki te maui te katau ano ki te Katau'' the Ngatiwhakane chiefs directly replied - that it was not marama ''e kore e pai kia wihea ahau i toku matua'' I hope to meet Petera at Ohinemutu and I will furnish a full report. Rewi Tereanuku went with them at my request
