From Te Kawau 13 September 1852 Friend, McLean, Listen, this is my farewell to you from Pita's house. Soon I will be leaving, after you have gone. Friend, McLean, listen, Karira, Metiria, Ohia and Raniera have released Mangorei into my and Te Waka's hands, that is to say, into your and the Governor's hands. Friend, McLean, listen, all the people have agreeed about Mangorei. The boundary is at Pouakai, it is divided at Araheke, and its boundary is at Murumuru, at Pikipari. Friend, McLean, the part that Karira gave to you, that is, Araheke, Poharama says he, Poharama, should retain. But the majority, the great and the small, all the people have agreed to stay together with that of Karira's and yours and the Governor's. Friend, McLean, would you and the Governor give me a place to put my house? Friend, McLean, write to me if you approve of that. And have sympathy for me as I am poor. I've another word for you, that you and the Governor provide Te Waka and I with some food. That's all. From Hone Ropiha, Te Kawau
