Ngauranga 12 March 1851 Friend, McLean, Greetings. Your letter has come to me. What you say is good, and there is no further reason for me to write to you. But there is another matter. Listen, Makoare and I are fighting; it's over his anger towards my people and for that I am angry with him. That's all of that. Our father, Grey, is still staying here. When I heard of the opposition to Governor Grey, I took note of it, and then I brought together the Maori of Ngati Awa, 300-[3]80, three hundred and eighty, to let Governor Grey alone have control of the lands to get them right, and so the tribe would not get into trouble. This was my suggestion to the Maori, and all the elders then agreed, 'That is a good idea of Wi Tako's', and so I will write about it and give it to the press. That's all for you and your son, John From Wi Tako
Ngauranga 12 Maehe 1851 E hoa, e Te Makarini, Tena koe. Kua tae mai tau pukapuka ki a au. E pai ana nga korero, kahore he tikanga o muri nei hei tuhituhinga atu maku ki a koe. Tenei hoki tetahi kupu. Kia rongo koe, kei te whawhai maua ko Makoare, he riri tona ki oku tangata, no konei ka riri au ki a ia. Heoi tenei. Ko to tatou matua ko Kerei, kei konei ano e noho ana. I toku rongonga ki nga tikanga whakahe mo Kawana Kerei, ka rongo au, katahi ka huihuia e au nga tangata Maori o Ngati Awa, 300-80, e toru rau e waru tekau, kia waiho ma Kawana Kerei anake te tikanga mo nga whenua kia tika ai, kei raruraru te iwi. Ko aku korero tenei ki nga Maori, katahi nga kaumatua ka whakaae katoa, 'E pai ana tena whakaaro o Wi Tako', no konei ka tuhituhi e au, ka hoatu kia taia ki te perehi. Heoi ano, korua ko te tamaiti ko Hone. Na Wi Tako
