Na Tamati Wiremu Te Ngahuru Ki a Makarini 19 June 1852 New Plymouth Friend, McLean, Greetings. Listen, your letter reached me on the 11th of June. Friend, greetings to you there. You are very busy with the land of Ngati Kahununu, at Wairarapa and at Port Nicholson, at that end of our land, of our [land] of New Zealand. I am staying here at Omata with my Pakeha friends. And there are no problems with the Pakeha living at Omata, there are no problems us in our settlement. That is all. From Tamati Wiremu Te Ngahuru To McLean
