became distressed because that committee for Pakapatea was also about Rangitikei, that is for the whole of Rangitikei. It was put up by Hori for Taratoa, Matene, Rawiri Puaha, and all of them. When we heard, we said, no, it is not right. However, I heard you say that this land was bespoken for the Governor, for Paora and for you also. It is wrong to rely on one person's word alone, for he may not have the right, whereas we retain that, and you also. And for this reason we challenge the rights of Wanganui, of Ngati Raukawa [to the land]. The continuing argument over people's land is wrong and in the end the result will be trouble. And then in my heart, that of a chief, I will know that your actions, those of chiefs[?] are wrong. With that, I conclude. From your good friend, Hapurona Tuhikura. When Kingi Te Oti gets here, it will end.
