19 Aperira 1849 Ki a te Kawana Hea E hoa, Tena koe. Ka nui toku aroha ki a koe. Tenei ano taku kupu ki a koe he hiahia ana ahau kia homai tiaki moku etahi pirihi, no te mea i whakaae atu ai ahau he raruraru o nga tangata o toku kainga. Ko ahau anake ki toku whakaaro me taku tamaiti me Rihiona; ko nga tangata katoa kahore e rite ana, ka whakaaro kau ahau ki te ai pirihi, kua mau. Na Aperahama Tipae Whangaehu 19 April 1849 To Governor Eyre Friend, Greetings. I have great affection for you. Another message of mine for you is about my desire to be given some protection, some police, because I agree that there are problems with people in my settlement. There is only me, in my view, and my son, and Rihiona. All the people are not like [us], and so I thought if there was a policeman, they could be caught. From Aperahama Tipae Whangaehu
