interview with Queen Victoria, our Most Gracious Sovereign : we mingled again 
in the multitude, and nothing remained but a pleasing recollection, somewhat 
like a daguereotype of the scene, vividly and distinctly impressed on the mind.

“ E Hoa e te Teira tena ra koe, ka nui toku aroha, atu ki a koe, e hoa e te Teira 
kaua e pouri to ngakau ki tou Tamaiti ki a te Manihera, ki a Kereopa tenei 
ano te kupu a Tipene kei nga mahi 7. 60 engari ko te utu mo raua ko te waka- 
pono mo nga tangata o Taupo i mea te kupu a te karaiti ki te wakairia a hau 
ki runga aki i te whenua maku nga tangata katoa e kukiune ki a hau, e hoa i 
mate to tamaiti ki te kawenga i te rongopai, e pai ana kia witi ano te rongo pai 
kia ratou ki Taupo a mua aki nei. E hoa e to matou liepara, e to matou minita, 
e to matou matua, kia korero koe ki oku wanaunga ki ou Tamariki nga kai 
wakaako o Wanganui, kia te Wiremu ki Aperaniko, ki a Hemi ki a ratou katoa 
kia hui matou ki to matou mahi i karangatia i te Ihupuku kia huna ai to matou 
aroha ki tou tamaiti ki to matou hoa kua ngaro nei ona kanohi ki a matou kia 
waka nuia to matou rongopai kia kaua e araia e ratou, he mea waka ngoikore 
ki waenganui i a matou, e hoa, e mate ana au kei toku ngakau, kei toku Upoko, 
he kirika koia au i kore ai e tae atu.

My Friend, Me. Taylor, —I salute you; great is my love for you. Friend 
Mr. Taylor, do not let your heart be dark on account of Te Manihera and 
Kereopa, your children. This is the word of Stephen, in the Acts vii. 60 5 the 
price of them is the turning to Christ of the Taupo nation. Christ says, “ If 
I am lifted up from the earth, I shall draw all men to me.” O Friend! our 
shepherd, our minister, our father, do you speak to my brethren, your children, 
the teachers of Wanganui; to William, to Aperaniko, to Hemi, to them all, 
that we should cleave to our work, to which we were appointed at the Ihupuku; 
that we should conceal our love for your children, our friends, who are departed 
from our sight; that we should increase our preaching of the Gospel; that we 
should not follow them (the Taupo natives) in anything which will render us 
weak. Friend, I am unwell in my body and head. I have a fever, therefore I 
cannot come to see you. From Hori Kiwi, 
Ranga tapu.
