Te Raunui[?] 11 May 1846 Friends, people of Wangahu, I have been instructed by the Governor to come and organise the lands of this area and for the Maori people also. I myself will have the decision over your land. However, come so we can talk together on Thursday of this week about the arrangements for your part. Don't turn a deaf ear to my good arrangements, because this can not be done later. From your good friend, Symonds To Aperahama, Hori, Te Munu, and other chiefs of Ngati Apa
