Otaki, 20th Jany., 1849. (Ngatiraukawa tribe) Friend Mr. McLean Wishing you well this is our word to you be cautious of the words of your people of the Ngatiapa, who persist in selling Rangitikei on to Manawatu, that is the boundary they desire to sell, there are only two more left. Friend McLean, if you consent to what they say give them your money, but the land shall not be given up to you. Listen, if you wish to purchase, let it be the other side of Rangitikei, do not consent to buy this side it will not be given up, all the people (the natives) have determined to hold the land, the boundary is Kukutairaiki that boundary shall be ours, presently the Europeans may say the evils arise from us from the natives. This is all our talk at present from us from the Ngatiraukawas to Mr. McLean. The original of this translation was addressed to me by Hakariah the principal teaihu at Otaki. (Sgd.) Donald McLean. A true translation. (Sgd.) Donald McLean, Inspector of Police. To Mr. McLean, Manawatu.
