Patea 8 Mei 1852 Haere ra, e taku pukapuka, ki a Te Makarini. Tena ra koe. Tenei ano taku kupu ki a koe, ko aku tamariki ka tae atu na ki to aroaro, i haere atu ki te rapu hoiho mo ratou. Kei a koe te whakaaro. I rongo au ki a Hori Taumata i mua, he hoiho tou moku, nau i ki mai ki a ia kia tangohia mai e ia ki au, nana i whakataka ai. Koia au ka tuhituhi atu nei ki a koe, ki koe te whakaaro ki tetahi hoiho; pai ana nga moni kua riro atu. Heoti ano, ka mutu. Naku, na Poaha Tamaiakina Patea 8 May 1852 Go off, my letter, to McLean. Greetings to you. My message to you is that my children will come to you, on their way to seek a horse for themselves. It's your decision. I heard earlier from Hori Taumata that you had a horse for me, and that you said to him that he could bring it to me on his way back. This is why I write to you, but it's your decision about a horse; the money is ready for acquiring it. That's all, the end. From me, from Poaha Tamaiakina
