The names of the Waikato chiefs on this sheet were witnessed by Robert Maunsell, but there is no indication of the date or place of signing. The chiefs were possibly visiting Maunsell's mission at the Waikato river mouth. Ngati Pou lived on the east and west banks of the river further upstream; Ngati Te Wehi were at Raglan.
Some uncertainty surrounds this sheet as far as its date of printing. �It seems highly likely, however, that it was dispatched with the English treaty copy sent to Maunsell (copy 3) �to enable him better to explain the terms of the treaty.
