Te Aro Pa 18 April 1848 Friend, McLean, Listen to what I have to say. Don't listen to anyone who says to you, in relation to the documents given to you, that he owns Herekawe, Waireka, Omata, Tapuae, Oakura, and Wairua. It is not so, don't take any notice; there is no one of those lands here in Port Nicholson, no one at all. Know that these are the people who own these parts[?] - Herekawe, Omata, Wairekaiti, Wairekanui, Okurukuru, Tapuae, Oakura, and Wairau; they are Te Ngahuru, Parenga, Te Wiwini, and their sons - Pape, Kaea, Te Rohutu, Taituha, and Parikainga. These are the people whose lands those are. Don't, if someone gives you a document, consider it is correct, it won't be; don't be deceived by anyone. Your people of Taranaki could soon be in trouble if someone is paid dishonestly for their land. Listen, it is for they themselves, the tribe of the land, the people on that land, and my elders, whose lands you are to pay for. Now I am going to take the horse for Te Ngahuru and Pape next year. That is all. From Wiremu Tamati Another word to you, about Rawinia's right: her father also took from that past payment, and will perhaps from this one coming up too. Her father also took from the payments for Hauranga and he is living there. Only her parents sold Timaru, and likewise her father had a thought for his child, because only their elders sold that land.

Te Aro Pa 18 Aperira 1848 E hoa, e Te Makarini, Kia rongo mai koe ki taku kupu. Kaua hei whakarongo ki te tangata korero atu ki a koe ki nga pukapuka e hoatu na ki a koe, nona ha Herekawe, nona ha Waireka, ha Omata, ha Tapuae, ha Oakura, ha Wairua. Kaore, kaore kia rongo mai koe, kahore hoki tetehi tangata o hona whenua i Poneke nei, kore rawa atu kia kotahi. Kia rongo mai koe ki nga tangata nona hena wai[wahi?] ha Herekawe, Omata, Wairekaiti, Wairekanui, Okurukuru, Tapuae, Oakura, Wairau: ko Te Ngahuru, ko Parenga, ko Te Wiwini, ko ta ratou tamaiti ko Pape, ko Kaea, ko Te Rohutu, ko Taituha, ko Parikainga. Ko nga tangata tenei nona ena whenua. Kei hoatu te pukapuka a te tangata ki a koe, ka mea mai koe he tika, kahore, kei tawaia koe e te tangata. Akuanei ka he hou tangata o Taranaki, me utua tahaetia e te tangata ho ratou whenua. Kia rongo mai koe [section crossed out] kei a ratou ano te iwi o te whenua, kei nga tangata o tena whenua, kei oku matua, kia whakaaro kei waiho hou tangata hei utu mo to ratou whenua. Tenei ano au te haere atu nei ki te kawe atu i te hoiho mo Te Ngahuru raua ko Pape a tera tau. Heoi ano. Na Wiremu Tamati Tenei hoki tetehi kupu aku ki a koe, ki te tikanga a Rawinia. Kua tango ano tona matua i tera utunga kua pahure nei, a tenei utunga pea e haere ake nei. E tango ano tona matua i nga utu o Hauranga, kei reira hoki e noho ana tona matua. Na ona matua anake i utu ha Timaru, waihoki kei tona matua te whakaaro ki a ia ki tona tamaiti, no te mea na ona matua anake i utu taua whenua.
