6 Akuhata 1851 Ki Poneke, ki a Makarini E hoa, e Makarini, Tena koe. Kia rongo mai koe ki taku kupu atu ki a koe. Kua tae mai au ki Ngati Ruanui, ki te kohikohi i nga utu mo nga hanga o te Pakeha, e rua pauna. Kua riro i a au ki te taone, ki a Kingi; maku e hoatu ki a ia. Kotahi te pauna i toe, maku e kohikohi ki te taone. Tena koe, ka nui to matou aroha ki a koe.
