30 July 1845 Friend, McLean, Greetings. We have great affection for you. Our right over Kaupokonui still stands. Te Ropiha, Te Reweti and my right will be forever, and even after we die, our right over Kaupokonui will not end. And should someone put out a word for Kaupokonui, it would not be right. Te Ropiha and I would fight it forever, we would fight until we all got Kaupokonui back. Friend, Arama has his own right. If you come by sea, all right, but if you come by land, when you reach Waiheke, come straight on to us, don't [get waylaid by] a committee at Waiheke. That's all. From Te Ropiha and Rawiri
Hurae 30 o nga ra 1845 E hoa, e Te Makarini, Tena koe. Ka nui to matou aroha atu ki a koe. Tenei ano te mau nei ta tatou tikanga mo Kaupokonui. Ko ta maua tikanga ko Te Ropiha, ko Te Reweti, e kore e mate ake ake; mate noa o matou tinana, e kore e mutu te tikanga mo Kaupokonui. Ahakoa puta he kupu a te tangata mo Kaupokonui, e kore e tika. Ka tohe maua ko Te Ropiha ake ake, ka tohe matou a kia riro ano i a tatou a Kaupokonui. E hoa, kei Arama ano tona tikanga. Ki te haere mai koe i te moana, e pai ana, ki te hae[re] mai koe i uta, ka tae mai ki Waiheke, ka haere tika mai, kaua e komiti ki Waiheke. Heoi ano. Na Te Ropiha, na Rawiri
