Omata September 10 1848[?] I don't know the day Friend, McLean, Listen to the reason I write to you. I say that no other person will have spoken to you about your horses, and so I write to you. It's this, a person has spoken for the foal of your horse. All right, but you make the decision about your horses. I have no right to do that, so this is why I write to you. It concerns Harata's foal. However, perhaps it won't do, because the people have argued over this. I am happy to have your horses, but you yourself are to decide about your animals. Friend, McLean, listen, since you and Hone Ropiha have spoken and he agrees, then I will not argue with you. That's all. From Te Ngahuru [Note following] 'Omaha. Sept. 10 1847[sic]. Te Ngahuru. Referring to the foal of (Mr McLean's?)' [Also] From McLean September 9 1848
