Na Tamati Hapimana te tuhi Ki a Makarini 31 August 1851 Oterango Go off, my letter, to Governor Grey and McLean. Friend, Governor Grey and McLean, Greetings. I have great affection for you both. I say to you to divide up the seaward boundary of Moungapo, of the land that you bought [from?] Paora and Rawiri, because I have only just approved my giving Moungapo to you and Governor Grey. You should approve the division of my boundary for Moungapo; I will insist[?] on you breaking it at the coast, by the sea. Tamati Hapimana - the writer, and Aporo Taukohuki and Hakopa Te Patutu: these are the people who will take the payments for this land. That is all, and with my regards to you both. Written by Tamati Hapimana To McLean
