Memorandum.

The land is adjoining the village lately laid out at Waiuku, and part of this land has already been sold to a settler named Codlin. This land was originally sold by the Chief Katipa, but the writer of this letter, by name Ruihana, one of the most turbulent chiefs of the Waikato district, disputes this sale, and, I understand, brought upwards of 100 men to Codlin's place, and cut down part of his fence.
