Waipukurau 17 June 1850 Friend, Greetings. I have this to say to you; look favourably on my idea. If a Pakeha trader comes to you, well, let me him be for me. I have trouble with the Pakeha here to whom I gave my pigs and flax fibre. They did not pay attention to those things but threw my flax into the stream. This is the reason I write to you, for you can put it to the Governor and you both sit in committee over it. Let me have a Pakeha, but a noble Pakeha; don't give me a stupid Pakeha in case I run into trouble again. There are two things I would like: trade in pasture but with the substance of the land
Waipukurau 17 Hune 1850 E hoa, Tena koe. Tenei taku korero ki a koe, kia pai mai koe ki toku whakaaro. Ka tae atu na ki a koe he Pakeha hoko, maku tenei.

Kahore e tahuritia mai, whiua ana aku muka ki te wai, no konei ka tuhi atu nei ki a koe, nau te tikanga ki a Kawana, kia komiti nuitia mai e korua. He Pakeha maku, hei te Pakeha rangatira, kaua e homai i te Pakeha kuare koi raru ano ahau. E rua aku e pai ana, ko te hoko ko te kai otaota, ko te kiko o te whenua hei ahau tenei, hei kainga mo aku tamariki mo aku mokopuna. Kati na e koe he kiko whenua
