Ngamotu 16 February 1851 Friend, McLean, Greetings to you there. I have great affection for you, and in memory of the face of our elder, Eruera, who has died, and who will not return as friend and guide for me and our good friend, Hone; in the laws for our betterment, there will only be us. Now, as for our Pakeha, we and the Pakeha get along very well; we love them and they love us. We have no problems now, it is easy. There is only one thing that you should hear and that is that we are getting along very well. Farewell. From me, from your very good friend, from Poharama Te Whiti Friend, McLean. Really, I have great affection for you. I have left Te Kura and gone back to live at Moturoa. It wasn't on account of Te Tatana's wrong, I just went back. When will you return to us? I have very great affection for you. That's all. From me, from [your] loving young one, from Wiremu Kingi [Address following] Ki a Te Makarini, te tino kaiwhakawa me te tino kaiwhakarite ture. Kei Ahuriri kei whea ranei.

Ngamotu 16 Pepuere 1851 E hoa, e Makarini, Tena ra ko koe. Ka nui toku aroha atu ki a koe, nga kanohi o to taua matua o Eruera kua mate atu ia. E kore e hoki ana mai hei hoa whakarite mo maua ko to taua hoa ko Hone; i nga ture o te pai, ko matou anake. Tenei, ko a taua Pakeha, kei te pai noa iho matou ko nga Pakeha; kei te aroha atu matou ki a ratou, kei te aroha mai ratou ki a matou. Kahore o matou raruraru inaianei, e marama ana. Kotahi anake ko tenei, kua rongona koe kei [te] noho pai noa iho matou. Hei kona ra. Naku na tou hoa aroha nui, na Poharama Te Whiti E hoa, e Makarini. Tena he nui toku aroha atu ki a koe. Kua mahue atu i au Te Kura, kua hoki mai au kei Moturoa e noho. Ehara i te he no Te Tatana, he hoki noa mai noku. Awhea ra koe te hoki mai ai ki a matou? Kei te nui rawa taku aroha atu ki a koe.
