26 August 1852 To McLean in town My chief, McLean, Greetings. I've a word for you about Kaikoura. It has been discussed by the people of this land. But is it right that the people speak for the part [of the land] they ... [unclear], when the land, the land belongs to me? Now, let me speak to you, sir, McLean, would you not like Taiaroa to come to you to talk? Not if Taiaroa does not approve, sir, but if he does, he should come here. Now then I would take the payment for my land. Listen, it is at Waipapa where the Pakeha stayed [that the boundary] begins, and beyond there are Aiopuka[?], Te Waero, Te Inuai, Haumuri, Te Piripaua, Motunau, Kaiapoi, Te Tuahiwi, Moeraki, Waikouaiati, Takou, Paparewa. Those are the lands the Pakeha has. The payments will be taken here. But I will take the payment for my land, I myself will take it. It's your decision. That's all. From Ria Raroti
