Te Raiomiti, Waiwakaiho 22 June 1845 Sir, McLean, Greetings to you and your children. [I'm expressing] my concern to you over our arrangements, and the upset over them after you left. However, we are living well and there is no trouble over the places the Pakeha [occupy]. I've had my talk with Te Manu and that is finally settled. The problem that remains is over your and my talk with Te Mata about the £3. I am of the mind that he will say to the children that we should pay, and they will agree. Young man, I am troubled. I've acquired Te Mete's cow for £10. I have heard you say that I should buy some land for myself. Should it be inland or by the beach?
Te Raiomiti, Waiwakaiho 22 Hune 1845 E koro, e Te Makarini, Tena koe, koutou ko [o] tamariki. He aroha atu tenei naku ki a koe mo a tatou tikanga, ki nga tika[nga?] raruraru i muri i a koe. Otira, e noho kau ana matau, kaore he raruraru ki nga wahi o te Pakeha. Kua mutu taku korero ki a Te Manu, kua rite, kua oti. Ko te raruraru i toe, ko to taua korero ki a Te Mata mo nga pauna e toru. E mea na taku whakaaro kua mea atu ia ki nga tamariki, ma matau e utu. Kua whakaae mai ratou. E tama, e tauroro ana au. Kua riro mai te kau a Te Mete i au, kotahi tekau pauna. Kua rongo au ki tau kupu kia hokona tetehi whenua moku. E pai ana ki uta ranei, ki te one ranei?
