My Dear Sir 115
You choose Jesus Christ
(1815)
Here's what I said to you
soon. 14 people were arrested
know the word of God; there is no rowing machine
let your rowing skills improve;
the weather is fine. This is it
There is one thing you should say to Terutahi
write word by word
You said the other day that I should know
that's what he said. Welcome to Titea
As you can see, this is a land of white sand
It's not good to go too far
face, let's go back and send it back
so, write me or tell me if I know it
or dirty Choarino
Taorana You
Poland

The letter appears to be written in another language. I assume it to be Tahitian. I have transcribed it letter for letter as I cannot speak the language.
