Turanganui 20 January 1852 Go off, my message, that is, our message, to Port Nicholson, to McLean and his senior, Governor Grey. Sirs, Greetings to you both. Now, listen to what we have to say about the final payments for all our lands on that side agreed to. But, sir, McLean, here is a question for you about our first discussion at Maka's home at Tuhitarata. Because you did not come back here from Heretaunga but went on to Port Nicholson, we are therefore writing down our proposal to you. Listen both of you, we have all agreed about the final payments for those lands of ours. But now for the first time we wish to pursue the final payments for those lands of ours. Now, friends, if you agree to our proposal, then it is up to you to decide if one of you, McLean, should come here and talk about whether it is acceptable or not. Sir, McLean, come here, come here quickly so we can talk about all those lands. If you cannot come here, then write us a letter. Our Pakeha, Eraihia, will bring it to us. If you come here, and come by sea, come straight on as we of Wairarapa are staying at the river mouth. That is all we have to say. From Te Mihi Te Kai, Hiko Te Tauti[?], Haimona Pita Te Iwaki, Te Hapimana Kokakoka, Wiremu Tamihana Hiko

Turanganui 20 Hanuere 1852 Haere ra, e tenei korero, ki Poneke, ara, e ta matou nei korero, ki Te Makarini raua ko tona matua ko Kawana Kerei. E ta ma, Tena ra korua.

Otira, e ta, e Te Makarini, he ui tenei ki a koe mo to tatou koreronga tuatahi ki te kainga o Maka ki Tuhitarata.
