[Note at top] 'Respecting Capt. King's section' People, be good to the Pakeha, don't be led astray, let them be, let them stay. The reason for the Pakeha staying, I agree with; for the Pakeha to go [rather] let things remain the way they were when they came to settle. If he brings me goods over the years, he cannot do anything else because I and my children - Te Manihera, Te Re Pukikura, Te Wikiriwa Mokau - have rights here and will exercise them. But, men, for the moment the problem for us all are the Pakeha of Te Warepouri; the war goes on but when it ends then peace will prevail. Why should I be defeated by the Pakeha? I remember taking care of this place for my parents and the Pakeha. But if the result is that we all have to fight on account of the Pakeha, so be it. From me, from Matatora Waiwakaio Te Puia 22 July 1845 [Note following] 'Matatoro's letter respecting Capt. King's Waiwakaio section. 22 July.'
[Note at top] 'Respecting Capt. King's section' E nga tangata, kia pai ki nga Pakeha, kaua e arumia, waiho [a]no, waiho kia noho ana. Ko te tikanga mo nga Pakeha kia noho, ki au ano te whakaae; ki nga Pakeha mo te haere, kia rite nga tau i nga Pakeha he nohoanga mana[?]. Ki te whai rawa ia ki au i nga tau, e kore ia e ahatia, ta te me[a] i aku tamariki tonu te tikanga mo reira, ki a Te Manihera, ki a Te Re Pukikura, ki a Te Wikiriwa Mokau, ki au ano, ki a ratou te whakaaro. Heoi, e tama ma, te whakaaro mo tatou aianei ko nga Pakeha o Te Warepouri, o tatou katoa hoki; haere ano te riri, mutu atu, ko te pai a mau tonu. He aha ahau te mate noa ai i te Pakeha? I mua kua hoki atu toku whakaaro kia atawhai au i tenei wahi ki oku matua aroha ki nga Pakeha. Kia waiho mo te Pakeha tatou e patu, e pai ana. Naku, na Matatora Waiwakaio Te Puia Hurae 22 o nga ra, 1845
