Whenuakura 16 Hepetema 1850 E tama, e Te Makarini, Tenei ano taku tikanga. Kia rongo mai koe, ko oku matua kai uta ko Rawiri, ko Hakaraia, ko to matou nuinga, e pei ana i a matou. Ko au e karanga atu ana, e kore au e rongo ki a ratou, no te mea noku ano te whenua. Kai a koe te tikanga o aku korero, mau e tuhi mai kia rongo matou ki tou ritenga. Heoti. Na Komene Whenuakura 16 September 1850 Young man, McLean, This is my plan. Listen, my elders inland, Rawiri and Hakaraia, the majority, oppose us. But I am calling on you. I will not listen to them because the land is my own. You will understand what I say, but write to me so we will know your arrangement. That's it. From Komene
