24 October 1848 Go, my writing, to McLean Listen, what Wiremu Otene said to you is correct. We have decided on the land, and we have all agreed to give it over to the Pakeha. I say that when Wiremu gets there he will ask for the payments and he should take them because the land is my own, and I have the claim on it through Tamahikutara. The boundary for me is at Kai-iwi, and the river is the boundary and on the other side of it is land taken by Tamahikutara, the boundary is at Okehu, and the inland boundary is Ngawaierua, inland of Okehu. The boundary inland of Kai-iwi is a large lake; my land is a large area. I suggest there be one calf, and one large horse, and five pounds in money. It is my decision about that place and the approval for Pakeha to occupy it. I will also talk about releasing Waitotara soon; it is from my ancestor Tirau[?] Pokau[?] who lived at Te Ihupuku, and I am his grandchild. If you hear talk from someone else that he owns the land, ask who his ancestor is, and if he tells you that he and I will give it over, write to me. My proposal is for the payment to be made at Ngamotu, I don't want it paid at Wanganui. I would like it paid at Ngamotu because my younger brothers are also there, and Ihakara. Soon the main committee will make an announcement about Waitotara. That's all. From Hare Tipene, Wiremu Harapata and Moihi Mawitiwiti
