26 August 1852 Go off, my letter, to the Governor. Think about the talk you and I had. This letter is about Hurinui, about the land of my ancestor, Hinituhi. The descendants grew up, and when I turned around, well they vanished, rushed off to Port Nicholson. I did my best to persuade them to come back to produce food for us and the Pakeha. When [they?] heard that the Pakeha had gone inland, then [they?] came back to pick a quarrel. This is my message of sympathy to you and the Pakeha. It is my place that I am happy to give to you, for you to go on to, at Rangi[?illegible], Anaero, Waiau, Mimi, Whakarewa, and Pukearuhe, so you are close to me and my children. When the land is paid for and you obtain it, the land should be reserved. That's all I have to say. This letter is from me, from Taonui To the Governor Auckland

26 Akuhata 1852 Haere ra, taku pukapuka, ki a Kawana. Me whakaaro mai koe ki a taua korero. Mo Hurinui tenei pukapuka, mo te kainga o taku tupuna o Hinituhi. Ka tupu nga uri, ka tahuri atu ano au, koia ka ngaro, ka oma ki Poneke. Miri ana nge aku hereherenga, whakahoki atu ai hei mahi kai ma matou ko nga Pakeha. No te ronganga mai, ka eke nga Pakeha ki uta, katahi ka hoki mai ki reira whakatete ai. Ko taku kupu aroha tenei ki a koutou ko nga Pakeha. Ko taku wahi tera i pai ai ki te tuku ki a koutou, ki whakaeke e koutou ki Rangi[?illegible], ki Anaero, ki Waiau, ki Mimi, ki Whakarewa, ki Pukearuhe hoki, kei tata mai ki matou ko aku tamariki. Kia utua te whenua, kia riro atu ki a koutou, kia whakatapu te whenua. Heoi ano taku korero. Naku tenei pukapuka, na Taonui Ki a Kawana Akarana
