TRANSLATION. 
Dear Friend. 
May you and your family be saved by Jesus Christ, the true Saviour. This is my 
speech to you, my friend, that you draw (or write) the likeness of a tree, and a bird, and a 
house, and send them down here, that I may see them; they will not be known by me, if I 
look carelessly at them. I desire to learn that custom or art, that I may know it: perhaps, 
I shall not know it much ; I may know it a little. Write also to me, and make known to 
me your wishes. May you be saved by Jesus Christ, 
POMARE.
