Huatoki 21 Tihema 1850 E hoa, e Makarini, Tena ra ko koe. Ka nui toku aroha atu ki a koe. Tenei ano te tikanga i whakaaro ahau ki tau pukapuka kua tae mai nei ki au, ta te mea he korero takoto na taua no nui rangi ake, e kore e wareware noa i au, me koe hoki, kahore hoki i wareware i a koe. E kore hoki i ahei kia whakakahoretia tau pukapuka kua tae mai; taku whirinaki tenei ki runga ki nga Pakeha, kia mate noa taku tinana, a, mate noa taku tinana. Heoi ano. 'For' Hori Tamata H. Halse [writer] Huatoki 21 December 1850 Friend, McLean, Greetings to you there. I have great affection for you. This is what I thought about your letter which has come to me, that because it was of a discussion we had over many days I could not just forget it, and you too, you won't forget that. I could not oppose the letter I received from you; such is my dependence on the Pakeha, until my body dies, indeed, until my body is dead. That's all. 'For' Hori Tamata H. Halse [writer]
