An Epitome of Official Documents Relative to Native Affairs and Land Purchases in the North Island of New Zealand

Enclosure

Enclosure.

Auckland, December 7th, 1857.

Friend the Governor,—

Salutations. This is a word to you. We have heard from the Bishop that our land at Pukekohe is given back to us. Friend, this is right.

Friend, this is another word. Let the fences and houses which are upon our land remain there for us, for the timber is from our own land.

Friend the Governor, will you be quick in sending the Europeans away from off our land, as we are intending to go thither to cultivate our land at Pukekohe.

From your loving friends,

Ihaka.
Mohi.

The Governor, Auckland.
