their intention is not really known. If they go in peace, that would be good. And then you might give them some food; but don't let the young of the faith show ill will toward them, rather look after them. It's our view that if the people in the war party go to Kai-iwi, they will cease their shooting there and so have to return home peacefully. Good people, be considerate and cautious[?]. Te Kiwitona has something to say to you, listen quietly to him. To my mind, Te Pakaru had done wrong to you, but stay quietly at Te Ihupuku and don't return to the fight. If the war party should leave on the Monday, then the Governor will also go to you, and with Ponika[?] the son of Te Rauparaha, the Bishop, Te Tatana and all the Pakeha. That's all. From your good friend, McLean

Te Rahoroi, 17 Hanuere 1845 E hoa ma, Tena koutou. Tenei te mea i kore ai matou i tae atu ki a koutou, he raruraru ki te taua o Te Heuheu. Kahore ra i tino takoto tetahi tikanga o ratou, engari pea a te Manei ka haere ratou ki Kai-iwi. Ki te whakaputu i to ratou aitua ki reira, katahi pea ka whakamutu ta ratou whakaaro kino, otira kahore ra i tino matauria ta ratou whakaaro. Ki te mea ka haere pai marire ratou, e pai ana. Me homai ra e koutou tetahi kai mo te taua; kei mauahara nga tamariki o te whakapono ki a ratou, engari kia atawhai. Tenei ra to matou whakaaro, ki te mea ka hare nga tangata o te taua ki Kai-iwi, ka mutu to ratou pupuhi ki reira. Heoi me hoki pai ratou ki to ratou kainga. [E] te whanau, kia pai ta koutou whakaaro, ki[a?] ati [ata?] noho. Ki a Te Kiwitona etahi korero mo koutou, me rongo marire ki a ia. Ki taku, he kino o Te Pakaru ki a koutou, me noho marire koutou ki Te Ihupuku, kei hoki kei runga i te raruraru. Ki te me[a] ka haere te taua a te Manei, ka haere hoki te Kawana, o Tonika te tama o Te Rauparaha, Te Pihopa, Te Tatana, ahau me nga Pakeha katoa ki a koutou. Heoi. Na tou koutou hoa aroha, na Makarini
