29 September 1851 Friend, McLean, Greetings to you, to you and the Governor, and our friend Rawiri, and your children, who are living there at Port Nicholson, Te Uruhi. I've a suggestion for you, that you and the Governor look to some arrangement for me. What I am arguing for from you is that I take some of the payments for the land that Rawiri gave at Mangati. Notwithstanding that land on the coast remains at Mangati, you could still fulfil my suggestion. It is right about the payments for Katatori and Te Huia, for Te Tuki and for the children, that they are given to them for Te Putatutonga. But I stress to you that Hoani did not take any. And what is the good of someone not taking payment for his part of the land? Rather give some coppers to me. That is all. From your good friend, from Honi Ropiha

29 Hepetema 1851 E hoa, e Te Makarini, Tena ra koe, korua ko Kawana me to taua hoa a Rawiri, me ou tamariki e noho ana ki Poneke, Te Uruhi. He kupu atu tenei naku ki a koe, kia rapurapu mai korua ko Kawana tetahi ritenga ki au. Ko taku kupu tohe atu ki a koe kia tango au etahi utu mo te whenua i tukua e Rawiri kei Mangati. Ahakoa toe te whenua ki tai, ki Mangati, me whakarite ano koe ki taku kupu. E tika ana nga utu mo Katatori raua ko Te Huia, mo Te Tuki, mo nga tamariki kia hoatu mo Te Putatutonga. Tenei te kaha o taku kupu ki a koe, ko Hoani kahore i tango. He aha te pai kia kore e tango te tangata nga utu mo tona wahi whenua? Engari me homai tetahi kapa ki au. Heoi ano. Na to hoa aroha, na Honi Ropiha
