17 February 1846 Te Awaiti Young man, McLean, Greetings. This my message for you. It's about the Wikitoria coming here. It's up to you but could you speak to the captain of the Wikitoria, and speak of the importance of him listening to you. Tell him to have the Wikitoria come here to Te Awaiti to fetch us and take us to Ngamotu. But speak firmly to him so he understands your reasons and you also, because after all you are the chief judge of the Pakeha there, and of the Maori also. Don't forget me, and that when you saw me you said to come on the Wikitoria, and you wrote down the day for me. Many of us will be going there. From your loving son, Raniera

17 Pepuere 1846 Te Awaiti E tama, e Te Makarini, Tena koe. Tena taku korero ki a koe. Ka tae atu ha Wikitoria ki kona, kei a koe te whakaaro, ka korero e koe ki te rangatira o Wikitoria, kia nui to korero ki a ia ki rongo tonu ia ki a koe. Mau e korero kia haere mai ha Wikitoria ki Te Awaiti nei, ki te tiki mai i a matou, ki te uta atu ki Ngamotu. Na, kia kaha to korero kia rongo ia ki au tikanga, ki a koe hoki, no te mea hoki ko koe te tino kaiwhakawa o nga Pakeha o kona, o nga Maori hoki o kona. Kei wareware koe ki au, kua kite koe i au, nau i korero i haere mai ai i runga i a Wikitoria, nau i tuhituhi te ra moku. Tokomaha matou ki te haere atu. Na tou tamaiti aroha, na Raniera
