Waipa 20 Mei 1850 Haere ra, taku pukapuka, ki a Te Makarini. [E] tama, Tena koe. Kia whakarongo mai ki taku kupu, ko toku aroha tenei ki a koe ka tukuna hoki ahau ki a koe, koia tenei: ko Pukearuhe, Otumatua, Wakaruna, ko Kukuriki Mimipirinoa[?], Onaeroa[?], Whaiau, ko Te Tanewa, ko Titerangi. Kua kitea koe i tau haerenga ki tera wahi. Ka nui toku pouri ki tenei whenua e tuku atu ki a koe, no te mea ka hoki mai na [nga?] heke no Ngati Awa kia noho pai ia. I marama ai toku ngakau i reira ka utu hoki [ra?] tera taha a Waitara i o taonga, kihai i riro mai ki a koe mo te wahi i tuwhera kau, ka tukua atu ki a koe; ko Nga-toto-a-Kupi[?] tenei aku tupapaka [tupapaku?]. Na, ki[a] hohoro mai tetahi whakaaro ki ahau, k[a] rongo ahau tou kupu mo taku e tukua atu ki a koe. Heoi ano taku korero. Na to hoa aroha, na Taonui Ki a Te Makarini Waipa 20 May 1850 Go off, my letter, to McLean. Young man, Greetings. Listen to what I have to say. It is my consideration for you that I send, and it is this: Pukearuhe, Otumatua, Wakaruna, Kukuriki Mimipirinoa[?], Onaeroa[?], Whaiau, Te Tanewa, Titerangi. You have seen it on your travels over that part. I am very upset about this land which I am giving over to you, because the migrations from Ngati Awa returned to happily settle it. I was relieved that that part of Waitara will be paid with your goods, and that you did not take [anything?] for the part which is open [?]; Nga-toto-a-Kupi[?] is the [burial ground?] of my dead. Now, be quick to give me your view, so I can hear what you have to say about what I am giving over to you. That is all I have to say. From your good friend, from Taonui To McLean
