31 Hurae 1850 E hoa, e Te Makarini, Tena koe. Kua tae mai au pukapuka. Kua rongo au ki au korero, ki te tikanga mo Kaiarara. Ka whakaae ahau ki tou kupu, no te mea kua karanga koe ki a Hori Patara mo nga eka kotahi rau mo nga £20, no te mea he mea tono noa atu tenei na matou ki a koe kia homai e koe i runga i te ngawari ko aua utu. Kei a Hori Patara te kupu ki a koe, kia whakahaere i roto i nga tau he whakatakotoranga mo aua £20. Otira ki te mea kua rite i a matou tenei ki a koe, otira ko taku hoki i mea atu ai ki a koe, ki te mea he kaitango utu au o taua whenua, e kore ahau e tare atu kia tuku mai koe i taua whenua ki a Hori Patara, ki au hoki, ki a matou katoa. Ko taku kupu ka mahia tonutia a Kaiarara ki tenei tau. Heoi ano taku kupu ki a koe. Na to hoa, na Wiremu Kingi Utapu 31 July 1850 Friend, McLean, Greetings. Your letters have come to me. I recognise what you say about the right over Kaiarara, and I agree with your suggestion because you have called on Hori Patara for the hundred acres for £20, and because we have continually requested you give us those payments out of consideration. It is for Hori Patara to tell you about yearly administration of that £20. But if we settle this for you, I would also say to you that if I am a recipient of payments for that land, I would not delay your giving that land to Hori Patara, and to me, or to us all. My word is that Kaiarara should be finalised this year. That's all I have to say to you. From your friend, from Wiremu Kingi Utapu
