  Oketopa oct 23. 1901.	Nikora Tautau Rapai	Waikato	This is the first time I have seen portraits this good. Those I know are exactly like they were in person
  Oct 24 1901	Wiremu Tuapokai Hiuhi	Kakepuku	It was on this day that I got to view these portraits and I was so happy to see the portraits of Rewi Maniapoto and Wahanui
  Oct. 26. 1901	Hare Maihi	Whangarei	I was amazed to see these portraits. I was overwhelmed with affection toward those of them who are now at eternal rest. Farewell to you all.
  Nov 14, 1901	Te Wherowhero	Te Kuiti	We are most delighted with these portraits of our elders that we have seen here. Great is our affection for our elders. Farewell to you our forefathers and fathers.

  23 Nov. 1901	Tiemi Make	Paeroa.	Translation My admiration, and my feelings of memories of the past in viewing this collection of the portraits of the ancestors and chiefs of the Māori race who have departed to the place of spirits, is very great, they stand before us as if they had returned to this world, to gaze on us the remnant who have survived them. Rest in peace both the males and have preceded us on, in the days which are coming. Rest in peace old chiefs and chieftanesses, we shall be travelling to you but you will not return to us. All we can do is to view your shadows that is all we can possess that is your portraits and your bodies are hidden from us. Alas! Alas! The grief which I feel.
