9 September 1851 From Te Awapuni to Port Nicholson To McLean Sir, Greetings. We have great affection for you, that is for both you and the Governor. Sir, Tareha's house for you at Te Ongaonga has been completed, and it's a good house. Only when I got there was it worked on, and now it is all finished. That's the end of that matter. Sir, we are very disappointed at there being no letters to us from you. And we are also upset about your being away. Now, sir, I have spoken to Te Hapuku of your suggestion that the land be extended, so now it would be four thousand. Te Hapuku did not agree, but all the tribe have agreed. That's all about that, but when you come here again, then these words of mine can be put right. Te Waihiku, Ropata, Te Wirihana, Heta and I also say to you to reduce the payment for Te Hapuku's land. There is great ill-will towards Heta and I. That's all. From your good friend, from Karaitiana Takamoana
