and so it is not right for you to delay it for months. Friend, if you agree, let the house be built beside my son's garden, in February or the beginning of March. The windows you instructed to be built, I have told the carpenter to stop [work on them] and make them like the windows Pakeha have, like those of[?] your mill, and the carpenter agreed with me. That is all. From your good friend, from Hone Ropiha Waiwakaiho
