12 December 1849 Waitotara, Te Ihupuku To McLean Sir, Greetings to you as you lie there unwell. Sir, I have received your letter. On the 12th of December, I went to Wanganui, so I have just seen your letter to me; the Pakeha named Taitene brought it to me. You asked that I pay for that letter, which I have done, one sixpence. On account of the delay from the storms[?] it lay here and now, since it is calm, a reply to your letter can go to you at once, and this is it. That's all of that. Now, we have not yet met over the business in the letter you wrote of to us - about raising the payments, the payments for the land here. But when the Pakeha arrives, that is, the one you have arranged, then we will all gather in council. Friend, Ma, let the Pakeha worker be a good man and tolerant, not a stubborn man - Taitene is a stubborn one. When the letter in reply to yours comes, then the Pakeha should come here. And then if you send back Kemp and Harry Stephens [?], then when they return it will be done. From your good friend, from Aperahama Tamaipurea

12 Tiheme 1849 Waitotara, Te Ihupuku Ki a Te Makarini E koro, Tena koe te takoto mai na i runga i te mate. E koro, kua tae mai tau pukapuka ki ahau. I tetahi tekau ma rua o nga ra o Tihema 12, ka tae atu ahau ki Wahanganui[sic], katahi ano au ka kite i tou reta moku, na Taitene te ingoa o te Pakeha nana i homai ki ahau. Ka karangatia mai ki a au kia utua atu e ahau te pukapuka ra, katahi ka utua atu e ahau, kotahi te hikipene. Ko te roa ra i nga ru[?] e takoto ana, na konei ka to, tae wawe atu he utu atu mo tou pukapuka, koia tena. Heoti ano. Tena, kahore ano matou i huihui i runga i te ritenga o tau pukapuka i tuhituhi mai nei ki a matou, kia hapai i nga utu, nga utu mo te whenua nei, engari ra kia tae mai te Pakeha, ara, te tangata i whakaritea mai na e koe, hei reira ka runanga ai matou katoa. E hoa, e Ma, kia pai te Pakeha hei kaimahi, kia ngawari, kaua te tangata pakeke, he tangata pakeke a Taitene. Katahi ano te pukapuka utu hei utu atu ki a koe mo tau reta, ka haere mai te Pakeha, ana, ka whakahoki mai e koe [?] a Te Kepa raua ko Hare Tipene, kia hoki mai raua ka mutu na. Na tou hoa aroha, na Aperahama Tamaipurea
