TE WAIU, (RANGIPO.)
November 26th 1874. To Henry, Friend, salutation to yon. Give this letter to the Wananga, so that is will be taken to our European friends, to look at, and think of the good idea of Messrs. Walker and William McDonald, on my thoughts for them to pay for their goods, cattle and sheep going on Maori Lands, In the district Kuripapango from Napier to Patea. This is the payment I received from Mr. Walker for one night of his cattle being at Owhiti £2, and Mr. McDonald £B. Friends this is not to be a fixed price, but we are thinking of a proper price, and it will be shown to you, perhaps will say that this mere talk. No, *it is true and this is the reason I am showning this to persons driving sheep and pack horses to pay for the grass of the above said district, to the owners of cattle and sheep, the grass of the district. We are thinking of keeping to feed our horses and sheep which we are breeding, and to feed the horses carrying the wool to Napier to be sold. I think the work of the sheepherd of the Kohurau is wrong, in stopping our cattle from eating the grass of Kuripapango, the said Land is not leased yet by Renata Kawepo to Europeans, and the Europeans have no control of these Lands, but the control of the said person is on the Kohurau, on the condition of Paul Kaiwhata's lease, but Kuripapango is yet under the control of Renata Kawepo, to which he \ holds. Na te Paki Paihau. Renata Kawepo.
