Turanga 16 March 1851 Friend, McLean, Greetings to you there. Our letter goes to you about our town, which we have all without exception agreed to. Sir, McLean, let it be near for in the harvest time, when the crops are flourishing. Friend, be quick with the settlement of our land, that is, of Turanganui. The people will not approve that other land be occupied by our town, but the place which is approved by everyone is Turanganui because it does not flood in the winter. Now, Whakawhitira, that is, the place you like, is not the one and should be abandoned, because that land gets ruined by water and by flooding. And so, friend, you should agree with our place because it is indeed the right one. From us all, from Kahutia
Turanga 16 o Maehe 1851 E hoa, e Te Makarini, Tena ra ko koe. Tenei to matou pukapuka e haere nei ki a koe mo to taua taone, kua rite anake matou katoa ki te whakaae taone. E hika, e Te Makarini, tutatatia tonutia mai i te ngahuru nei, i te wa ora i nga kai. E hoa, kia hohoro mai te whakanoho i to taua kainga, ara a Turanganui. E kore hoki nga tangata katoa e pai kia whakanohia he whenua ke mo to taua taone, engari te kainga i whakapaingia e te katoa ko Turanganui, na te mea hoki kahore ona wahi wai i te hotoke. Tena ko Whakawhitira, ara te kainga i pai ai ki a koe, ehara ia me whakarere, ta te mea ka ngaro taua kainga i te wai, i te waipuke hoki. Koia tenei, e hoa, me whakaae koe ki to matou, na te mea ka totika tenei. Na matou katoa, na Kahutia
