As to Aperahama's letter, I did not see the content of that letter. My plans are that you and I should carefully and quietly discuss it. Sir, greetings. One Pakeha is creating trouble over the parts I spoke about to you as cultivations for my people, the parts you announced three years ago[?]. That Pakeha is stubborn . . . [unclear]. The trees have been taken by my people, and Hori and I say that the Pakeha is at fault for going to Koti's house [?]. That's all. From your good friend, from Te Kawana Te Hakeke living at Rangitikei, Awahou
