I have great affection for you indeed in these troubled[?] times. McLean, I am feeling for you in respect of the talk you and I had before at the discussions about Oterango. But hear me now. I attach [an account of] our first discussion to this letter of mine to you; this is the second of my appeals to you about payment for land. This letter of ours to you is to [ask] you to give us the payments now. Don't drag it on, but release them at once to us. If you hold out, we will give [the land] to a Pakeha, to John Parani [Brand?]. That is all. From Horomana, Te Teira, Te Manihera
