him to give away that part of your land, because there is a lot left. You have what belonged to your ancestor as well as this land here in Heretaunga. So be considerate to our friends living on these lands of ours. But on the days of payment let them also consider you. The Governor has agreed to buy those lands. He approves of what you said. But write to me, and whether it is right or wrong, I will listen carefully and calmly. Your word is not just something written down, it is the word of a chief. Friend, now I will speak seriously to the Governor. And then I will answer your letter about Whawanui. Your young ones are just giving themselves airs in their talk and they are putting pressure on you, soon, however, you and I will sort out an arrangement for the land, after I have carefully sought out what your friend the Governor is thinking. From me, from your good friend, McLean
