Poneke 9 Hune 1846 E taku hoa aroha, e Makarini, Tena koe, korua ko Porana. Ka nui toku aroha ki a korua. E aku matua aroha, tena korua, korua ko a korua tamariki, tenei ra haere noa nei i te mata o te whenua. Ka nui te kino o nga tangata o Ngati Rangitahi. Ka nui te pai o nga tangata o Poneke o Te Puni, o Te Ropiha, o katoa. Heoi ano. Na Hori Port Nicholson 9 June 1846 My dear friend, McLean, Greetings to you and to Bolland. I have great affection for you both. My considerate fathers, greetings to you, greetings to you and your children as you travel over the surface of the land. The people of Ngati Rangitahi are behaving very badly, those of Port Nicholson are behaving very well - Te Puni, Ropiha, all of them. That's all. From Hori
