(first word in my reply was supposed to be simply i )

[Matakari]

Sorry about the slip up with 1a! Are the letters correct without the last 3 of 7a?
Many thanks?

[Matakari]

Have you got the poet? and the poem?
Googling it will be necessary to fill in the unclued (some odd words in there!)

[Matakari]
