5 September 1854 Friend, McLean, I have great respect for you. Again this is my message to you. Friend, I am examining the purpose of our work, that is, your plan for us. Friend, to me your proposal is extraordinary and so I have to say you are a Pakeha. Write to me to reassure me. Friend, now I see your plan I rejoice, [at top] and when I make a point, then I persist with it and shake my head. Friend, when my letter gets to you, write me a letter to make me feel better. Friend, the posts of the snares are in place, in case someone conspires to crush our plan. Although it is good . . . [rest of line unclear]. We will pursue a way for that plan. That's the end. From me, from Paora To you, my good friend, McLean
