I did not write inviting you two to come and take land; I'm not in that practice of selling land. All I want is a Pakeha who can sell goods, a Pakeha who sells axes, not any other, but a Pakeha salesman. Now, if you and your friend McLean say you'll come here, fine, come here. It is not me calling you to come, but if you two do come, come here so we can all see each other, not because I am going to give up any land to you. But do come indeed, don't worry. That's all From Te Hapuku, from Heretaunga
Kaore ahau i tuhi atu kia haere mai korua ki te tango whenua, kaore i au tena tikanga te tuku whenua. Heoi ano taku he Pakeha hoko, he Pakeha kaipatiti, kahore tetahi na, me Pakeha hoko. Na, ka mea mai na korua ko to hoa ko Te Makarini kia haere a, e pai ana, haere mai. Ehara hoki i au korua e karanga atu kia haere mai. Na, ka haere mai na korua, a haere mai kia kite tatou, ehara ta korua i te haramai kia tuku kainga ahau mo korua. Engari ko ta korua haramai, kia[?] kaha, koi maharahara hoki korua. Heoi ano Na Te Hapuku, no Heretaunga
