Whakatu 13 February 1851 Friend, McLean, Greetings to you. I have to tell you about my boat which was broken. I think that the Pakeha who broke my boat should be tried. The reason my boat was broken was because that Pakeha was drunk; that's why the boat was damaged. It would not have been broken if he had not been drunk. Now, in respect of that damage to the boat, no part of the payment came back to me, of the payment for the goods of the Pakeha which were loaded onto the boat at Kawhia, Whanganui, Kawhia. Now as to the cargo, that is, the ropes, he sold them for money for himself when it was damaged. He threw the anchor into the Whanganui River and he did the same with all the things on the boat. That ends what I have to tell you. From me, from your good friend, from Tamati Marino To McLean At Port Nicholson or wherever

Whakatu 13 Pepuere 1851 E hoa, e Te Makarini, Tena ra koe. He kupu atu tenei naku ki a koe mo taku kaipuke kua pakuru. E mea ana au kia whakawakia te Pakeha i pakaru ai taku kaipuke. Ko te take i pakaru ai taku kaipuke, i haurangi taua Pakeha, no reira i pakaru ai te kaipuke. E kore e pakaru te kaipuke mehemea kihai ia i haurangi. Na, ko te pakarutanga o te kaipuke, kihai hoki tetehi wahi o te utu i hoki mai ki a au, o te utu ia o nga taonga o nga Pakeha i utautaina ai e te kaipuke ki Kawhia, ki Whanganui, ki Kawhia (ki Kawhia [repetition]). Na, ko nga utanga (ta), ara ko nga taura, no te pakarutanga hokohokona atu e ia ki te moni mona. Ko te haika i whiua e ia ki roto ki te wai o Whanganui me nga mea katoa o te kaipuke i peratia ano hoki. Ka mutu tenei korero aku ki a koe. Naku tou hoa aroha, na Tamati Marino Ki a Te Makarini Kei Poneke ranei, kei whea ranei
