1 April 1851 This to McLean living at Ahuriri. Sir, Greetings to you and your children. We have great affection for you. Now, listen. All the people have met to agree about Mohaka and Waikari, that they be given over to you, to our dear friend. Friend, send Parker to come here now so he is not caught by the tail of summer [bad weather?]. Friend, listen. Now, Waikari, Waikari is where it ends for you, it goes on right out and up to Maungakaruru, then drops right down to Mohaka. That is all we have to tell you. Now, you should [write] us a letter so we can know what you have to say. Friend, we think affectionately of you. That's all. Greetings. [Line of a song follows.] A song. From Paora Rerepu Mohaka
