[tbaxslatiox.] Pukototaru, 28th April, 18GC. To Colonel Bussem, Native Minister, even to his colleagues at Port Nicholson, — Friends, salutations to you all living yonder in the love of our Lord Jesus Christ. Friends, we have heard that a letter has been sent by Hcnare te Hcrekau, Hori te Waharoa, and their Runnnga, to Mr. Fitz Gerald, about our land at Manawatu as far as the back-bone of the Northern [gland, (Te lka a Maui,) that is to say to the ridge of Tararua, then turning and entering Mongohao, viz., the Eiver Hau iti a Taane. ;;/;.>■!•! If it is true that these people have written to Mr. FitzGerald, and requested him to forward their letters to England, it is wrong : this land belongs to us, to two tribes, Eangitane and Muauapoko ; but we will make known to you the names of the Ngatiraukawas who have claims to a very small portion of our settlement: —■ Ko Hona te Purangi, x . Ko Eaureti nga AVhena, x Ko te Aomare Te Puna, x Ko TaKerei te Nawc. x Them v.re all we know of; as to the bulk of the people, we do not know them. The boundaries named in their letter are wrong ;we shall see: during the discussion you will find out that we are in the right Friends, do you publish our statement in Maori and English, and send it to the Parliament of England, in order that our English friends may see it. That is all from us your affectionate friends. (here follow the signatures.) From your friend and servant, Te Peeti Te Aweawe. Enclosure 6 in No. 2. Copy of a Letter from Hori Keeei Te "Wauaeoa to Mr. FitzGehaid. To Me. FitzGekald, — Manawatu, 2nd February, 1860. Wo have something which we wish to say to you relating to the Manawatu country. We will first describe to you the boundaries, that you may understand the extent of the land. Begin at the Maire, which is in the direction of Tararua; straight on are Otauria Opapa Teminone, Te me o Wanake, Paiwaka, Marumaru, Aputuate Otiuhu, on to the saddle of Tararua, descending to Mongohai straight on along the road of Arawaru, then ascending Tararua in the way of return to Manawatu till 3"ou come to Arawaru ; there you meet the boundary of the land sold by Hirawau to the Queen ; you go along the boundary of the Queen's land till you come to Mangawharawhara, thence to Mukuremu; along the course of the Manawatu Eiver lies Parikawau, Tekopiro, Titiahu, Mangamahoe, Te Papanua, Hikaritu, Tokomaru ; hence you arrive again at the Maire, the starting point.
