19 October 1848 Friend, Governor, Greetings. I have great affection for you, and a wish to put [to you]. This is my message. I would like Totaia to continue to live on his land at Mongoraka. You decide what is appropriate for that Pakeha according to what I want and you believe. I suggest that Totaia's land be paid for. I am past withholding [land], so please agree to my suggestion, since I have considered that wrong and have stopped resisting. If you cannot come here, write me a letter for me to come to you, so you can hear my proposal again. Or, you come here to see my part of the land so we, the Maori, can talk about it, as well as you and I. I am saying to the people opposing[?] Totaia to leave him living there, they are advising him to go. So I suggest payment for my land, but it is up to you to decide about land for me. I spoke to you at Port Nicholson about some land for me at Te Moutere, so that I can quickly leave the trouble behind and obtain some land that is free of trouble. That is all I have to say. From Te Whaitere Katatoni [?]

Oketopa 19th 1848 E hoa, e Te Kawana, Tena koe. Ka nui toku aroha ki a koe. Me tuku hiahia hoki. Tenei ano taku kupu ki a koe, e hiahia ana au ki a Totaia, kia noho tonu ki tona oneone ki Mongoraka. Mau e whakaaro mai te tikanga mo taua Pakeha, whakatikaia mai taku korero, ki a koe te whakaaro. E mea ana au kia utua te oneone o Totaia. No waho au no te pakeki [pakeke?], ko tenei, whakaaetia mai taku korero, koia au ka whakaaro ai ki te he, kia whakamutua taku mahi pakeki[pakeke?]. Ki te kore koe e tai mai, tutuhia mai tetahi pukapuka kia haere atu au, ki taku tikanga ano e rongo ra koe. Tetahi me haere mai ranei koe kia kite koe i taku wahi whenua, kia korero tatou nga Maori, taua hoki. E ki atu au ki nga tangata puna[?] i a Totaia, kia waiho kia noho ana, e tohu tonu ana ratou kia haere ia. Koia au ka mea ki taku whenua kia utua. Ki a koe te whakaaro ki te oneone moku. Kua korero au ki a koe ki Poneke ki tetahi whenua moku ki Te Moutere. Kia wawe au te riro ke atu i te he, kia taea atu au ki tetahi whenua kore he. Heoi ano taku korero. Na Te Whaitere Katatoni [?]
