Wiremu Kingi Te Koihua, of Pakawau, to His Excellency Governor Browne.

Auckland, 15th September, 1864.

Friend, the Governor, salutations to you. This is a word of mine concerning my pieces of land at Pakawau and Te Rac. I wish to have Crown Grants for these lands, so that I may live securely; also, that I may be able to leave any portion which I please. I have two pieces; I wish, therefore, to have two Crown Grants. This is all,

From your loving friend,

Wiremu Te Koihua.

His Excellency Governor Browne.
