26 August 1852 Friend, Governor, Greetings to you and the people living in those parts. I now turn my attention to what you wrote earlier, in the warm season when you were here. Listen to what I have to say, it is not to deceive you but is a true word. Keep thinking of the head of this child above, that is, of the child as the place you and I are arguing over, Waitara. Don't say that I will stop the discussion about this place, for no, I won't let it go; you and I will continue to raise the matter. And don't you just give up on it. I say this to you and McLean, stop vacillating over it, but send payment for it quickly, because I began it, and after that there was Rawiri Waiaua, then Ngati Kahuhunu, and then Parata. You may soon pay those ones who came after, and leave me out who was the first. Well, finish it off, Governor. Now for the first time I ask this of you, pay for Waitara at this time. Listen to what I have to say about Te Awaiti, about the place where my parents died. Agree to that place being bought. If you agree, speak to Te Tupe; don't refuse my suggestion but pay for Te Awaiti. And if you hear people talk, don't listen to them. That's all. From me, from Ihaia Waitara
26 Akuhata 1852 E hoa, e Te Kawana, Tena ra koe me nga tangata e noho mai ana i ena wahi. Tenei ano au te tahuri atu nei i a koe mo tau kupu e tuhituhi i mua ra, hei te aroaro mahanatanga ka tae mai koe. Kia rongo mai koe ki taku kupu, ehara i te kupu whakawai naku ki a koe, otira he kupu tika. Me whakaaro tonu te upoko o te tamaiti nei ki runga, ara ko te tamaiti tenei ko te wahi e tohea nei e taua ko Waitara. Kei mea ko maku e whakamutunga nga korero mo konei, kaore, e kore e waiho i raro, me hapai tonu e taua ki runga. Kaua e waiho noa e koe. Ko taku kupu tenei ki a korua ko Makarini. Kati hoki te hurihuri i nga whakaaro, kia hohoro mai te utu i tena wahi, ta te mea naku te timatanga, no muri ta Rawiri Waiaua, no muri nei a Ngati Kahuhunu, no muri ta Parata, akuanei ka utua e koe nga mea i muri, ka kapea e koe taku te tuatahi. Ko tenei whakaotia, e Kawana. Katahi ano au ka tono atu ki a koe koia tenei, me utu a Waitara i enei takiwa. Kia rongo mai koe ki taku kupu mo Te Awaiti, mo te wahi i mate ai aku matua. Me whakaae mai koe mo taua wahi kia utua. E whakaae koe, korero atu ki Te Tupe, kei kape koe i taku kupu, me utu a Te Awaiti. E rongo koe i te kupu a te tangata, kaua koe e whakarongo atu. Heoi ano. Naku, na Ihaia Waitara
