Port Nicholson 12 January 1852 Friend, Te Wereta, Greetings. Your two letters have come. Friend, you are correct in saying that new land of Heretaunga will be acquired. And you can collect the payments, that is what Te Hapuku told me. However, as for the new location, it is a place given by Te Hapuku after it was paid for by the Governor, that is, as his response to Te Hapuku's arguing for £4,500 as payment for that already been planned and to include the new acquisition. You should come at once to Heretaunga. You will not be ignored by our friend Te Hapuku. You might think that Te Hapuku is of little account, and his food can not be spread out in a heap, but he is a great man, of great ideas and thinking. Indeed, you two are of like mind, you receive as chiefs and are resilient of mind, that is his stance too. You spoke out about Te Potangora, but so too did our friend. Leave
