15 September 1853 To Watawata-a-tao To McLean Sir, It was already night when I got to Mete Kiri's house, bringing the letters for you. Matthew, the Pakeha brought them from Port Nicholson, and I and my Pakeha found them when we got to Kere's house. I at once said to my Pakeha that I should perhaps go back and take the letters for McLean. And he agreed, 'Yes, take them, go quickly, and come back in the morning.' I agreed but when I got there you and Captain Smith and Ngairo had already gone. Sirs, greetings to you. I came back because my horse was tired, and I could not go on during the night; I got to Mete Kiri's house at six o'clock. From Wiremu Tamihana Hiko
