10 October 1845 I would like to be paid for my wheat at once. And if you do not agree then I will seize some of the cows as payment for my crops, for the potatoes, for the wheat, the fences, for the land, and for Captain King's flattery. Soon you Pakeha may be fighting me. But I will not be at fault, it will be your own, the Pakeha's. If the cows are let out onto my land, I will make a lot of trouble over this wrongdoing. I am very upset. How is there to be food for me
