26 May 1851 Friend, McLean, Greetings. Hear what I have to say. It is this. I give you my land. And that is why I say to join together the payments for my part[?]. I am upset and that is why I give my land over to you. Let me take [the payment] immediately here. That's all of this. The names of the lands for you, McLean, are: Kaiwaru, Ngamatapouri, Wahinetaupari, Ngaruakino, Puketore, Wanauroroa, Aramohutahuta, Tupaengaroa, Mangere, Ngutuhinaki, Wareonge,Waewaeraupa, Rangiahua, going on to the sea and then Moerangi, Te Anahaehae, the boundary to the north of Waiwerenui, Matukutakotako, Pukekaikino. The direction [?] of the boundary inland, is towards [?] this side of Waiwerenui. That ends what I have to say to you: these are my lands for you. That's all. From Nikorima Waitere Uawa[?]
