Tahurikotua, March 30th, 1861. Friend, Mr. McLean,— Salutations to you and the Governor! I have seen the "Manuhiri Tuarangi," the newspaper which was sent to Hepata. It is my desire to raise the cry of Welcome! Welcome! Welcome, my elder brethren ! Welcome on shore! Welcome to me ! For if I do not sound the welcome, my settlement may not be visited by it. However, here is my invitation [to the "Manuhiri"]:—Welcome, thou my father! Welcome, thou my moiher! Read the words in Titus, chapter i, verse o. From your loving younger brother, Reihana Rujxgaterangi.
