of Hone Ropiha, Manahi, and Te Waka; my people are always chatting about something. But they leave alone the troublemaking of Poharama and his people; Waiwakaiho is cause of that troublemaking. You and the Governor should heed our troubles, and these are the reasons I thought to write to you about them. Friend, that ends this. Listen, I am persisting, McLean, over the land of my ancestors, of Tuparikino, Ratawake, Apakura, and Hineturi, and I am persisting so that the Pakeha [have it] for ever and ever and ever. Why should people fight? Why? Why? Not [like] that of the troublemakers over the land of Waiwakaiho, no, no. You have your letter about Te Waka and Hone Ropiha, so listen, the land is for the Governor. That's all I have to say, the end. From your son, from Hoera
