over and he will rouse the Maori again. What I am pursuing, however, is the derogatory talk of those people, who say of me that 'I am bitten by the sandfly'; at Wanganui there is one saying of me 'just flesh', and that of Potatau is 'parrot perch'. Now these are the wrongs of those tribes, that there is no consideration from them and no goods in payment of that land have reached here. Give up on the main speaker of those tribes but be cautious in your talk. Don't listen to the talk of the Maori if they are opposing Mokau and my suggestions, when [they] say 'it is not right for those people to sort out my land'. In the past this land was his, today that land belongs to Mokau and Te Rauparaha. This is also my [view] that if he stayed by the beach, by the water, by the ocean, then that would be his.
