November 1848 To Taranaki, to McLean Friend, Greetings to you there at home. Here your friend is lying at home sick. Listen, friend, to my father's and my proposal. The part to the south of his land will be given over for the Governors, for you who act for the Queen. Friend, McLean, it is not a trifling amount of land offered to you, it extends right out to the source of the river; there is one part on the other side of Rangitikei that is for a burial ground for his grandchildren, and a place to advance the faith. For this is the right thing, friend, the faith, which also means honouring the Governors and the Queen. Kawana Huni[a] Te Matewaka Rangitikei Your letter has come to your good friend, Kawana Hakeke. Now I, his first son, spoke to all the tribal groups of the arrangements for the land. But it is left to you to organise the procedure for the payment. You know the procedure; and know too that you are the only judge whom all the chiefs [insertion on p.3, assume here] and tribes wish for, and according to the faith. Reply to this letter so we will know if you are coming here first; there is surveying work to be organised also. There is talk of you day and night, and your arrival is much anticipated.
Nowema 1848 Ki Taranaki, ki a Te Makarini E hoa, Tena ra koe e noho mai na i tou kainga. Tenei ano to hoa te takoto mate nei i tona kainga. Whakarongo mai, e hoa, ki ta maua nei tikanga ko toku matua. Ko te wahi ki te tonga o tona kainga ka tukua atu nei mo nga Kawana, to korua te whakarite a te Kuini. E hoa, e Te Makarini, kaore e whakaitia te tuku oneone mou, paku noa ki te kopounga mai o taua awa, ko tetahi rara wahi o Rangitikei hei wahi tapu mo ana mokopuna, hei wahi whakatupunga i te whakapono. Ko te mea tika hoki tenei, e hoa, ko te whakapono. Na tena hoki i tika ai te whakahonore ki nga Kawana hoki, ki te Kuini hoki. Kawana Huni[a] Te Matewaka Rangitikei Kua tae mai te pukapuka ki to hoa aroha ki a Kawana Hakeke. Na, kei te korero ahau, tana tama tuatahi, ki nga hapu katoa o te iwi ki nga tikanga mo te oneone. Waiho hoki me koe whakahaere mai i te tikanga o te utu. Ka mohio ano koe ki te tikanga; kia mohio tonu koe, ko koe anake hoki te kaiwhakawa e manakohia ana e te ngakau o nga kingi katoa, [insertion on p.3, assume here] o nga iwi katoa hoki, na te whakapono hoki. Utu mai ano hoki tena pukapuka, kia rongo atu matou mehemea koutou haerenga tuatahi mai, he mahinga ruri kei te whakahaere ano. Kei te korero ano i te ao i te po, ko to tae mai te manakohia atu.
