Paekakariki 13 June 1850 Friend, McLean, Greetings. Sir, McLean, listen to what I have to say about my land, about Mangati. Young man, McLean, consider me and my children in the payment of Mangati. You have also paid for that land of mine, Hauranga, the land of my ancestors. No person has yet come to me to inform me that some payment will come to me. My parents and grandparents are dead, but I and my young brother are alive and administer those lands. You heard what I said to you at Waikanae in relation to the rights over those lands. I have not forgotten our talks. You gave out the proposal in my letter to the people of Pitone with the payments for Port Nicholson. My elder brothers and elders did not consider me in the payments for Port Nicholson. Now, young man, listen to the name of my ancestor, it is Hinewakaruke . . . [Letter ends here - no signature]
Paekakariki 13 Hune 1850 E hoa, e Te Makarini, Tena koe. E koro, e Te Makarini, kia rongo mai koe i taku kupu na mo toku oneone mo Mangati. E tama, e Te Makarini, whakaaro mai koe ki au, ki a matou ko aku tamariki, i te utunga o Mangati. Kua utua ana hoki e koe tena oneone oku a Hauranga, te whenua oku tupuna. Kahore ano i tae mai tetehi tangata ki au, kia rongo au kia homai hoki tetehi utu ki au. Kua mate oku matua me oku tupuna, ora ake ko maua ko toku teina, i ritenga o aua whenua. Kua rongo koe ki taku kupu i ki atu e au ki a koe i Waikanae, ki te tikanga o aua whenua. Kaore ano i wareware i au aua korero a taua. Hoatu koe te tikanga o nga korero o taku pukapuka ki nga tangata o Pitone me nga utu hoki o Poneke. Kahore hoki oku tungane oku matua i whakaaro mai ki au ki nga utu o Poneke. Na, e tama, kia rongo ki te ingoa o toku tupuna, ko Hinewakaruke . . . [Letter ends here - no signature]
