[At top] '(Copy)' Te Kawau 13th October 1850 Friend, Pakeha of this town, leaders of this town, All of you listen, this habit of yours, the shooting of your, the Pakehas' horses, is wrong. Your law about shooting horses is different [from ours]. Our law was superseded by yours but now our law is revived. And it is all right that you yourselves, the Pakeha, adjudicated on the wrongs. Friends, Pakeha, don't be divisive in your affection for us; it is good to settle things peacefully so we don't all end up fighting. That's all, the end of it. '(Signed)' From Hone Ropiha Wareroa [Notes following relate.]
