Patea 12 Mei 1851 E hoa, e Te Makarini, Tena koe. Tenei te ritenga o taku tuhituhi ki a koe. Kua rongo au e haere mai ana koe ki Patea nei. Kia rongo mai koe, kei te toaka mai matou ko oku tamariki i te puihi i nga Ratapu e toru, engari ki te pono to haere mai ki Patea nei, taihoa kia hoki mai au i te mahi toaka, hei reira au tuhituhi atu ai ki a koe, hei reira hoki koe haere mai ai. Heoti tenei. E rapu ana au ki taku pukapuka, i tuhi atu hei utu mo to pukapuka i tuhituhi mai i Ahuriri. Kua tae atu ranei, kahore ranei? Heoti ano. Na tou hoa aroha, na Poaha Tamaiakina Ki a Te Makarini Patea 12 May 1851 Friend, McLean, Greetings. This is the reason for writing to you. I have heard that you are coming here to Patea. Listen, my children and I are after pigs in the bush for three Sundays, but if it is true about your coming to Patea, wait until I get back from pig hunting. Then I will write to you and then you can come here. That's all of this. I'm wondering about the letter I wrote in reply to your letter written to me from Ahuriri. Has it reached you or not? That's all. From your good friend, Poaha TamaiakinaTo McLean
