to hasten [the construction of it], this year. Don't delay, be quick about it, now. All the people have agreed, and so I am justified in saying to you to come here and build my mill. Don't turn a deaf ear to my voice but hear it, because it is right what I am reporting to you. That is all I have to say to you. This letter is from me, from your good friend, Watitiri, to McLeanand Captain King. This concludes it. 1848
kia hohorotia mai i tenei tau. Kaua e whakaroaina, ki[a] hohoro tonu inaianei. Kua whakaae katoa nga tangata, no konei i tika ai taku ki atu kia haere mai korua ki te hanga i taku mira. Kei turi ki toku reo engari kia rongo, no te mea he korero tika taku korero i tuhituhi atu ai ki a korua. Heoi ano aku kupu ki a [ko]rua. Naku tena pukapuka, na to korua hoa aroha, na Watitiri, ki a Makarini raua ko Kapene Kingi. Ko te mutunga tenei. 1848
