Haere ra, e taku pukapuka, ki toku hoa aroha, ki a Makarini. E hoa, Tena koe, ka nui toku aroha ki a koe, otira tenei ano taku aroha ki a koe, ko taku tikanga i whakapuaki ai ki o korua aroaro ko Kawana i te taone i Huatoki, mo Mokau, mo te utu i taua wahi. Kaore e wareware i au ta taua tikanga mo taua wahi. Kua wareware pea i a koe. Na Hone Pumipi1 Akuhata 1851 Ki a Makarini kei Poneke Go off, my letter, to my good friend, to McLean. Friend, Greetings. I have great affection for you. But my affection for you is also over this, my proposal which I put before you and the Governor in the town, at Huatoki, about Mokau, about the payment for that place. I will not forget our proposal for that place, but you perhaps have forgotten it. From Hone Pumipi 1 August 1851 To McLean at Port Nicholson
