He tūnga whai hiranga tō Charles Oliver Bond Davis ki te mahinga o ngā niupepa Māri pērā i The Maori Messenger – Te Karere Maori,i Te Waka o Te Iwi, i Te Whetu o Te Tau me Te Korimako. I hāmenetia (kāore i kitea he hara) a Davis mō te mahi whakakino ingoa i runga i te kaikaiwaiū i tōna whakaputa i te pukaiti a ngā Māori o Tauranga Moana e whakatakē ana i a Te Arawa me te taitara ‘te Arawa mangai-nui’. E ai ki ngā niupepa ‘he tangata iti a Davis, he whīroki pērā i te tūpāpaku, ā, he reo pipī noa iho tōna. Kīhai ōna paku aha’.
