25 November 1848 To Te Kaikokirikiri to Te Retimana, his children and family. Friends, Greetings to you all. Your land has been given to the Pakeha, and these are the boundaries of it: Turakirae with the boundary going out to Tararua, then directly to Te Kotukutuku, Rangitumau, Kumurau, to the gate of Tamawaiti [Tom White?], Wareama, Tuhaumi, then cut off [to? at?] Waihora, Te Ahiokaraka, Nga Hakurere, Puketarata, Maungarake, Kumukumu, Te Iringa, Nga Waka-a-Kupe, Aorangi, Te Kawakawa, and breaking off at the coast. Those who gave Turakirae are Raniera and Orita. Those who gave those of our lands of Rangitumau, Wareama and Maungarake are Te Hamaiwaho, Anaru, Iraia, Ngairo, Te Matenga, Te Mahukuhuki, and Te Raro. Those who gave Te Kawakawa are Pape, Te Kai and Hemi. Sir, don't be angry, Te Retimana, don't stay away there, but come here so we can all talk, for you are apprehensive about those of our lands. The only lands for you are Mangarake, of the Pakeha, and Tupurupara out to Wareama, because that fence line for your land was set down earlier. But listen, that is still for you. This message of mine to you is also because we heard about the agreement with Kemp, and that you spread your korowai cloak before the Pakeha for him to sit on. That's all. Come here soonest. Go off, my letter, to Te Retimana. Sir, do come here. If some stay away then one could still come. From me, from Te Hamaiwaho and from Anaru Rongotua Karani said to me that McLean will call for payment for the pigs shot without right[?]. Three pigs should be paid for. If McLean agrees, the payment for one should be 14s.

25 Nowema 1848 Ki Te Kaikokirikiri, ki a Te Retimana ratou ko ona tamariki, ko tana whanau. E hoa ma, Tena koutou katoa. Ko to kainga kua tukua te kainga ki te Pakeha, ko nga rohe enei o to kainga: ko Turakirae te rohe puta noa ki Tararua, pukaka Te Kotukutuku, Rangitumau, Kumurau, ki te puta a Tama Waiti, Wareama o Tuhaumi, ka kotia Waihora, Te Ahiokaraka, Nga Hakurere, Puketarata, Maungarake, Kumukumu, Te Iringa, Nga Waka-a-Kupe, Aorangi, Te Kawakawa, ka pakaru ki tatahi. Ko nga kaituku enei o Turakirae, ko tetahi ko Raniera, ko Orita. Ko nga kaituku enei o ena o tatou kainga o Rangitumau, o Wareama, o Maungarake, ko Te Hamaiwaho, ko Anaru, ko Iraia, ko Ngairo, ko Te Matenga, ko Te Mahukuhuki, ko Te Raro. Ko nga kai tuku enei i Te Kawakawa, ko Pape, ko Te Kai, ko Hemi. E ta, kaua to riri, e Te Retimana, hei waiho atu i kona, engari me haere mai koe ki konei tatou korero ai, inahoki ka hopo koe i ena o o tatou kainga. Heoi ano he kainga mohou ko Mangarake, o te Pakeha ko Tupurupara puta noa ki Wareama, inahoki kua takoto ano i mua taua rohe taiepa mo to kainga. Kia rongo mai koe, ka tena ano mou. He karere tenei naku ki a koe, inahoki kua rongo matou ki te whakaaetanga, ki a Te Kepa, kua horahia e koe to korowai ki te aroaro o te Pakeha, he nohoanga na te Pakeha. Heoi ano. Kia horo mai aianei ano. Haere ra, e taku pukapuka, ki a Te Retimana. E koro, haere mai. Ki te noho atu etahi, he tokotahi ka haere mai. Naku, na Te Hamaiwaho, na Anaru Rongotua Na Karani i ki mai ko nga poaka i puhia noati [noa atu?], ma Te Makarini e karanga he utu. Ko nga poaka e toru me utu enei. Ki te pai a Te Makarini, ko nga utu mo tetahi 14s.
