21 May 1849 To Port Nicholson, to Governor Eyre and Kemp - Judge, to Barton Sirs, the three of you, I have this to say to you. I suggest that Barton pay for the land of Karauria, however, sir, Governor Eyre, you should speak to Barton about that land, that he pay for it. About the cost of the hatchets, the amount should be given to Karauria Hape, £24 for the hatchets. Now, don't think that the land was paid for with Barton's goods, no, this is another place, named Hiringa. That is all I have to say. Sirs, if you approve of what I say, give me the payments for Karauria's land, the same as I requested. That's the end. From me, from your good friend, Wereta Kawekairanga [Note following] 'Wairarapa 18th May '49. Wereta Kawekairangi of Wairarapa with reference to the land at his station and offering the same for sale at the rate of £4,000 for 4 years. And with reference to Mr Fitzherbert.'
