Taranaki 4 February 1850 Friend, Potatau, Greetings to you and the family. Friend, I have just arrived at this place, and by the time I arrived, the Wikitoria had already berthed bringing Lady Grey, my wife. We all arrived safely, I by the buggy[?], my wife by sea. We like this place at Taranaki, it's a place which I have traversed and with the Pakeha guests who have accompanied me from Auckland. So much for this. This also I have to say to you. I was disappointed on my arrival at Waipa to hear from your younger brother that you are fighting over the land at Maungaroa. Son, bring that to an end. [Bottom of page] To Te Wherowhero Potatau
