Port Nicholson 28 March 1851 Friend, McLean, Greetings to you. I have great affection for you. What I have to say to you is would you give some shillings to Te Naku and Kima for I did not come back because I was ill, although I am now all right. I have seen Wiremu Mangumangu at Port Nicholson, when bringing the letters from the Governor. I wrote my letters there, and said to them, that is, to Te Manihera and the others, 'Remember me, and if you do not remember me, you will wrong me again.' That wrong was this; I went to court over theft from me but got nothing. Another matter for you is that my children be brought here, that is, the children of Dicky Barrett. One is with you, with Te Paka [Parker?, or, at Te Paka?]. That's all. From your affectionate child, Epiha Karoro Sir, Te Haeana, greetings to you and your Pakeha. May you travel safely on the long road, with no trouble befalling you and your Pakeha. Greetings to you all and your children.

Poneke 28 Maehe 1851 E hoa, e Te Makarini, Tena ra koe. Ka nui toku aroha atu ki a koe. Tenei taku kupu atu ki a [koe], me hoatu e koe etehi hereni ki a Te Naku, ki a Kima, no te mea kihai au i hoki atu i te mate oku. Otira e pai ana taku mate. Kua kite au i a Wiremu Mangumangu ki Poneke i te kawe mai i nga pukapuka a te Kawana. Ka tuhituhia atu e au aku pukapuka ki reira, mea atu ana au ki a ratou, ara, ki a Te Manihera ma, 'Kia mahara koutou ki ahau, ki te mea ka kore e mahara ki au, ka he ano i au.' Ko tona he ra tenei, ka whakawakia e au i te tahae hoki i ahau, kore rawa nei tetahi mea i au. Tenei ano tetahi tikanga atu ki a koe, ko aku tamariki kia riro mai i au, ara nga tamariki a Tiki Parete. Kotahi na hoki kei a koe, kei Te Paka. Heoti ano. Na tou tamaiti aroha, na Epiha Karoro E koro, e Te Haeana, tena korua ko to Pakeha. Kia pai te haere i te roa o te ara, ki[kei] pa mai te mate ki a korua ko to Pakeha. Tena koutou katoa ko au tamariki.
