Ngamotu 9 November 1852 Friend, McLean, Greetings to you. Friend, I am not upset but I am annoyed with Cooper who did not agree with the proposal I put for the boundary at Te Hua, that's why I'm upset. Listen, I don't hold principles about withholding the land, rather I am for giving it over. They are holding out for [land] beyond the post at Waiwakaiho and this side of the post they want to give up. My plan, and it is as the Governor called for earlier and as I do, is for the boundary at Te Hua; I agreed with your [plan] and so it's for you to agree with mine, for our proposal that Te Hua be the boundary. So, don't agree with the proposals of [the other people], but let the boundary be settled at Te Hua, as you and the Governor agreed, and I also. You should know that the people who are holding out are Hone, Te Waka, Wi Tangutu, Te Tahana, and Raniera; they are all holding out for beyond the post at Waiwakaiho. We are saying let it all go, right out to Te Hua and inland. That's all, the end. From Poharama Te Whiti From the tribal group of all the areas of Te Puia

Ngamotu 9 Noema 1852 E hoa, e Te Makarini, Tena ra koe. E hoa, kahore aku pouri engari taku pouri mo Te Kupa, kahore i pai ki taku tikanga i karanga ai ki Te Hua te rohe, no konei au ka pouri. Kia rongo mai koe, kahore aku tikanga pakeke mo te whenua, engari e tuku ana au i te whenua. Ko ratou e pupuri ana i tua i te pou i Waiwakaiho, ko tenei taha o te pou ta ratou i pai ai kia tukua. Ko taku tikanga ko te reo o Kawana i karanga ai i mua, me taku hoki, ki Te Hua te rohe, kua pai hoki au ki ta korua, me korua kia pai ki au ki ta tatou tikanga ki Te Hua te rohe. Ko tenei, kaua e whakaae ki nga tikanga a nga [tangata?] engari kia rite rano ki Te Hua te rohe, ka whakaae ai korua ko Kawana, me au hoki. Kia rongo mai koe, nga tangata e pakeke ana ko Hone, ko Te Waka, ko Wi Tangutu, ko Te Tahana, ko Raniera; ko ratou katoa e pakeke ana ki tua i te pou i Waiwakaiho. Ko matou e mea ana na tuku katoa puta noa ki Te Hua, puta noa ki uta. Heoi ano, ka mutu. Na Poharama Te Whiti Na te hapu o nga motu katoa o Te Puia
