Horowhenua 26 May 1851 To Hori Kingi Sir, I've a word for you. Would you take my letters to McLean, and this one also so he knows what has been said in it. Te Miha came here, at Haimonapita's request that he come here to speak to Ngati Toa, and he has been here. Haimonapita said that Te Miha-o-te-rangi should speak to the tribes here, and three came here. The land occupied by the Maori should be reserved, but the lands taken for the Pakeha, the final payment for those lands should be returned to him. One thing, the committee sitting should not be held at some other place or the receipt of the payments, but they should be at Port Nicholson, that would be good - thus the saying [following lines crossed out], 'If they are quick, Pipiwhaka will be quick'. And the meaning is this, if things are quick with Wairarapa, the people will be quick to go to Port Nicholson. But to have it elsewhere is not right, it should be at Port Nicholson. So when Te Miha went to Otaki, to Potau, he agreed with Haimonapita's view, and when he came to us, we too agreed to your words from Haimonapita. And so then our proposal is as Haimonapita and Te Miha put it; and we all agreed based on your words. That's all. From Noa Te Whata

Horowhenua 26 Mei 1851 Ki a Hori Kingi E koro, He korero taku ki a koe, mau e kawe atu aku pukapuka ki a Te Makarini, me tenei pukapuka hoki aku, kia rongo hoki ia i nga kupu o tenei pukapuka. Kua tae mai a Te Miha ki konei, na Haimonapita i tono mai kia haere mai ki te korero, haere mai ki Ngati Toa, a, tae ana mai ki konei. Te kupu a Haimonapita i ki mai ai, hei korerotanga ma Te Miha-o-te-rangi ki nga iwi nei, a, tae ana mai ki konei e toru. Ko te whenua e noho ana nga Maori i runga kia tapu tera, erangi ko nga whenua kua riro atu ki te Pakeha, me whakahoki mai te utu whakamutunga ki a ia o aua whenua. Tetahi kupu, kaore kia kawea ki tawahi he tunga mo te komiti, he tangohanga hoki i nga utu, erangi ki Poneke nei ano, ka pai, inahoki he whakatauaki tenei, mehemea kai [following lines crossed out], 'Ka tere raua, ka tere Pipiwhaka'. Tona tikanga tenei, ka tere Wairarapa, ka tere nga iwi ki roto ki Poneke. Tena ki tawahi kaore e tika, erangi ki Poneke. Heoti tae mai nei a Te Miha ki Otaki ki a Potau, whakaae tonu ia ki ta Haimonapita, tae mai nei ki a matou, whakaae tonu matou ki runga i au kupu a Haimonapita. Heoti ano he tikanga mo matou, ko aua kupu a Haimonapita raua ko Te Miha, kua ae katoa matou ki runga i au kupu. Heoti ano, na Noa Te Whata
