To Henare, my friend, greetings to you. Regarding the message I wrote to you on May 28th, we will soon gather at Te Hauke. About your letter delivered by Tutire - both myself, Tamati, and the people of Te Hauke are in agreement. The contents of that letter are favourable, and I intend to fulfill all the commitments outlined in it. On the 30th, Hori Ropiha and his companions arrived and requested that Tamati stay.
