Wenerei 12 Maehe, 1845 E hoa, e Poharama, Tena korua ko Wiremu Kawaha. Tenei taku kupu ki a korua. Kia pai ta korua whakaaro ki te Pakeha kaumatua, ki a Te Wirea, e mahi ki roto o te rohe. Ko nga Pakeha enei i mea a te Kawana kia pai ta koutou whakaaro. Kei pera ma nga tangata e atawhai kino i a ratou Pakeha; me rite ta koutou whakaaro ki ta te Atua i mea, 'Kia aroha tetahi ki tetahi'. Heoi. Na Te Makarini Wednesday 12 March, 1845 Friend, Poharama, Greetings to you and Wiremu Kawaha. This I have to say to you two. Be considerate to the Pakeha elder, Te Wirea, who is working in your area. These are the Pakeha that the Governor asks you to think well of. Don't be like those people who look after their Pakeha badly; think as the Lord commands when he says, 'Love one another'. That's all. From McLean
