Porirua 10 Hune 1850 E koro, e Te Makarini, Tena koe. Kua rongo au ki a koe he tangata pai koe, he tangata hoatu noa i te kahu mo te wahine. Ko au hoki tenei ka tono atu nei i tetehi kahu moku i a koe. E hoa, moku tetehi piwi kaone, horo, raka. I rongo hoki au he tangata atawhai koe, no konei au i tuhituhi atu ai ki a koe. Heoti ano. Na Te Kuini Porirua 10 June 1850 Sir, McLean, Greetings. I have heard that you are a good man, a man who gives generously of clothes for women. And so I ask you for some clothes for me. My friend, I would like a piece for a gown, a shawl and a rug[?]. I heard that you are a considerate man, and this is the reason I write to you. That's all. From Te Kuini
