9 September 1851 From Te Awapuni to Port Nicholson To McLean Sir, Greetings. We have great affection for you, that is for both you and the Governor. Sir, Tareha's house for you at Te Ongaonga has been completed, and it's a good house. Only when I got there was it worked on, and now it is all finished. That's the end of that matter. Sir, we are very disappointed at there being no letters to us from you. And we are also upset about your being away.
