  June 24 . 1901	Hemana Te Pokiha	Maketu	I am from Te Arawa. It is amazing for me seeing the images of important people and chiefs of the Māori people who have now passed on. For this, I am ever so thankful to the artist who painted these excellent images, may God bless him for the wonderful work. It is as if those who have passed on still live today. To my elders, I greet you. Major Rāpata, Major Keepa, greetings to you both, colleagues of my grandfather, Major Pokiha.
