Chief Haimona to the Hon. Surveyor-General.

Auckland.—Relative to Waikoukou. January 24th, 1852.

Friend Mr. Ligar,—

Salutations to you. This is a word to you. You and your men (Natives) have broken the seal of Waikoukou. This is a dishonest transaction of you and your men. Did you suppose that in thus acting dishonestly all would be right? It will not be right, for I still live. I live, and my land lives too. This is a species of a murder of the whole of you with reference to me.

Haimona, Hauraki.

To Mr. Ligar, Auckland.
