Friend, Apanui, Greetings. I did not forget you and Te Wheturereata, that is, the children of Tautari. And I have heard that that elder of Whakatane has died. The reason I write to you now is regarding the double-barrelled guns you gave to be repaired by the Pakeha in Auckland. Have they returned to you or not? I'm worried about those guns. I was away in Hauraki earlier when one of those guns was taken away by Te Ruinga of Ngati Paoa. That elder said he would return it to you. The other I left at Waiheke, at one of my houses, Motunau. That one may or may not have gone back. I don't know about its return for I was right away on the far side of the island. And I did not return to Auckland to be able to get a letter to you. But you should write to me as to whether each of the guns has arrived, and if not, I must pay you for those two guns. And in your letter to me, at Port Nicholson or Taranaki, you should advise the cost in pounds for them. That's all from your good friend, McLean Ahuriri 1st of January 1851 If you write to me, let it be thus: To McLean, at Taranaki or Port Nicholson Manahi, bearer [Note following relates]

E hoa, e Apanui, Tena koe. Kahore ano ahau i wareware ki a koe, ki a Te Wheturereata hoki, ara, ki nga tamariki o Tautari. Kua rongo au kua mate taua kaumatua o Whakatane. Te mea e tuhituhi ai ahau ki a koe aianei, mo nga pu tupara e homai e koe kia hangaia e nga Pakeha o Akarana. Kua hoki ranei ki a koe, kahore ranei? E pouri tonu ana au ki aua pu. Ka ngaro au ki Hauraki i mua, ka riro tetahi o aua pu i a Te Ruinga o Ngati Paoa. I ki taua kaumatua mana e whakahoki atu ki a koe. Ko tetahi i waiho e au ki Waiheke ki tetahi whare oku, ko Motunau. Ko tera pea kua hoki ranei kahore ranei, kahore au e mohio ki te hokinga, he tangata ngaro rawa mai au ki tera taitua mai o te motu. Kahore ano au i hoki ki Akarana kia tika ai he pukapuka aku ki a koe. Ko tenei, mau e tuhituhi mai ki au mehemea kahore i tae tetahi o nga pu, mehemea kahore, me utu e au nga pu e rua ki a koe. Ana tae mai he pukapuka au ki au, ki Poneke ranei, ki Taranaki ranei, mau hoki e whakaatu mai nga pauna utu mo au pu. Heoi na to hoa aroha, na Te Makarini Ahuriri Hanuari, tetahi o nga ra, 1851Ka tuhituhi mai koe me penei ki a Te Makarini, kei Taranaki, kei Poneke ranei Manahi, bearer

Tapuhiitemdescription	Contains letters from Maori to McLean with regard to land tenure; in particular, there are statements of claim (at Taranaki) and offers to sell (at Gisborne?); there is a letter from Te Heuheu (Iwikau) stressing the need for caution in identifying boundaries and owners, criticisng some of McLean's practices, and stating that if Maori are silly enough to sell, so be it.There is also a letter from Hoani Waikato and Te Waka Rewharewha to other Maori informing them that all of Heretaunga has been sold; this letter was intercepted by H H (Henry Halse?) and sent to McLean because Halse `thought it better to keep it from those for whom it was intended'.
