Te Aro Pa 7 April 1848 Friend, McLean, Don't you listen to the talk of Wairarapa and Te Ropiha if they argue there with you to give them some money for the land at Herekawe and Omata. They do not have places there, but they should look at that land of mine at Waimiha, it's from those lands of mine that money could be taken. And don't listen to the Pakeha. Be careful, McLean, of people's talk, but hear, McLean, what I have to say. Leave alone the land of mine and my younger brothers - Te Wiwini, Te Ngahuru, Parenga, and the people living at Taranaki. The boundary [runs from] Ngamotu, at Te Rautaku, and it continues on inland where there is Herekawe, Wairekaiti, Wairekanui, Papataniwha, Omata, and Opou, my and younger brothers' lands. Give the payments again to the same people you paid last year, in August. Now, McLean, keep my letter and give it to Te Ngahuru and Parenga so they can see what I've said. Don't let people be paid dishonestly, but you remain as guardian
Te Aro Pa 7 Aperira 1848 E hoa, e Te Makarini, Kei whakarongo mai koe ki nga korero a Wairarapa raua ko Te Ropiha, e tohe na ki a koe kia hoaturia e koe etehi moni mo raua o te whenua i Herekawe, i Omata. Kaore hona wahi i reira, engari me huri atu ratou ki tena whenua oku i Waimiha, hei kona taua tango mai ai i nga utu o ena whenua oku. Kei whakarongo mai koe i te Pakeha. Kia tupato koe, e Te Makarini, ki te tangata korero. Kia rongo mai koe, e Te Makarini, ki taku kupu. Waiho mai ano to matou whenua ko aku teina, ko Te Wiwini, ko Te Ngahuru, ko Parenga, ko nga tangata e noho ra i Taranaki. Kei Ngamotu te paenga, kei Te Rautaku, haere tonu ki uta ko Herekawe, ko Wairekaiti, ko Wairekanui, ko Papataniwha, Omata, Opou, ko matou whenua ko aku teina. Me hoatu ano e koe nga utu ki nga tangata ano i utua ai e koe i tera tau, i a Akuhata. Na, e Te Makarini, kia mau tonu koe ki taku pukapuka, mau e hoatu ki a Te Ngahuru raua ko Parenga kia kite ratou i aku korero. Kei utua tahaetia e te tangata, engari i waiho ano koe hei kaitiaki
