[At top] 'Manahi' Ngamotu 7 October 1850 Friend, McLean, I am still staying where you left me, at the place you were living. Well, I have nothing to say to the Pakeha[?], I'm living well together with my Pakeha on our land. Let there be troubles elsewhere, but I, I don't like people's wrongdoing. Friend, [I] don't know about Pita and Waireka, Te Waka is not still arguing over that statement. And Patara did not know about what you said, and it would not be right that I simply lied about it. Friend, McLean, Rawiri's behaviour is just fine, quite good, very good; Rawiri still likes the Pakeha. That's all. Listen, Rawiri has just said this to us that he will go to the court sittings, but when he looked at his clothes, he had only a blanket to wear if he goes to the sittings, and he said, the option is yours. The only word from Rawiri to us was - love. From your elder, from Rawiri his Pakeha To McLean

[At top] 'Manahi' Ngamotu 7 Oketopa 1850 E hoa, e Makarini, Tenei ano au te noho nei i tau waihotanga i au, i te kainga i waiho ai e koe te noho.

Me waiho ano te raruraru i tetahi wahi, tena ko ahau e kore au e pai ki te he a te tangata. E hoa, kahore i te mohio ki a Pita mo Waireka, kahore kei te tohe tonu a Te Waka ki taua kupu. Kahore hoki ha Patara i te mohio ki tau kupu, e kore hoki ra e pai kia teka kau au no tena kupu. E hoa, e Makarini, pai kau ta Rawiri tikanga, pai rawa, pai tonu, kei aroha ano a Rawiri ki nga Pakeha. Heoi. Kia rongo mai koe. Katahi ano te kupu a Rawiri ka puta mai ki a maua nei, koia tenei, mona e haere ana ki nga whakawakanga, ka titiro ia ki ona kakahu, he paraikete kau ona kakahu me ka haere ia i nga whakawakanga, i mea tana kupu kei a koe te whakaaro. Heoti te kupu a Rawiri ki a maua nei - aroha. Na tou kaumatua, na Rawiri tana Pakeha Ki a Makarini
