Rangitikei December 1846 To McLean My good friend, Greetings to you there considering the ideas of our plan. I saw your thoughtful letter for us, and, yes, that is still the plan, there was no other idea after you left. There was only one other matter from my elder Mohi, which you two spoke of concerning Te Hau[?]. Well now he has settled with the Pakeha on that land, with McDonald. The main thing being considered is the days and the years we all spoke of, the days and the years during which Maori and Pakeha will work on those lands, that is, that that time be one of respect and good nature between Maori and Pakeha. But there is one large part, after you left, inland, on the interior boundary, where a pole has been brought in, and is standing at Pourewa. We all met and discussed it, and I said in our discussion to leave it until you come here again. And then [the discussion went on] to include Te Horihau[?], and the part taken by Te Waitere in the first payment. I am very sad, friend, that Paori Turangapito has died. That is all. From Kawana Te Hakeke, from my elder, Mohi Mahi, and I To McLean
