of Rawiri and Te Ropiha, the decision still lies with you. I have not heard of arrangements by the people, because the settlement is at a distance. And in your direction[?] it is maybe only the stubbornness that you hear about. Did you hear about the matter of Kawana and Taiomi[?]? Tell me so I will know and if you agree, I don't agree to making trouble. Write to me about[?] the people of Port Nicholson who agree to your arrangement, how many. Ruera's letters you can give to the people. That's all. From me, from your good friend, from Hone Ropiha, written by Kipa
