31 August 1846 Friend, McLean, Greetings to you there. This is my respone to what you suggested to me. My dearest wish is fulfilled. Te Kamura has agreed to the horse, Pekeueue. I said to him, however, that it should be the same as for my ancestral land and in exchange for dollars. You said that I would like Te Kamura, and, yes, I do like him. He has been working at Kawatawata for two years. He said to me, 'It's up to you.' If I should agree with his word, write to me and also to Te Kamura. Be quick as I really want my horse. Don't think about the big price, that's for me[?] to think about. That's all. From your good friend, from Kawana Pitiroi Putikiwharanui
31 Akuhata 1846 E hoa, e Te Makarini, Tena ra ko koe. Tenei ano taku whakaaro mo tau kupu i mea iho ki ahau. Kua mutu taku pirangi ki ngakau, kua whakaae a Te Kamura ki te hoiho, Pekeueue. Kua mea atu ahau ki a ia, erangi te matua kia rite ai ki taku tupuna whenua kia riro mai no te tara ra. Kua puta iho tau kupu kia pai ahau i a Te Kamura, ae, kua [p]ai ahau ki a ia. Ka rua nga tau e mahi ana i Kawatawata. Kua mea mai te kupu a Te Kamura, 'Kei a koe te whakaaro.' Ki te whakaae au ki tena kupu, tuhia mia ki ahau, ki a Te Kamura ano hoki. Kia hohoro mai, e nui ana taku pirangi ki toku hoiho. Kei whakaaro koe ki te utu nui, moku[?] te whakaaro mo tera. Heoi ano. Na tou hoa aroha, na Kawana Pitiroi Putikiwharanui
