Williamtown, Wanganui 22 March 1853 Friend, McLean, Greetings to you, to you and our good friend, Tangi. I have great affection for you both since you have looked after me. Friend, at the adjudication of Tapapa and Huruterangi here, well, we were all there when Te Mawae and Kewetone spoke to me, words in which they boasted about themselves, but which were wrong. And they were wrong in this, that all the people did not hear them. I said, 'You two are wrong in what you say. 'They said to me, 'They are just words, do you think Durie can hear us?' I said, 'It's wrong, it is up to the court's ruling, it's [for the court] to find the right or wrong and set right what has been done here. I am staying here to suppress crimes in this settlement of Wanganui.
