Katatauru 25 November 1850 Friend, McLean, Greetings to you. This is my message to you. Last December your cow arrived at Heretoa. Later the cow gave birth and it stayed with its young and ate the pasture of my land - 9 tons. Now it's up to you about the cow, about its staying for two Decembers. With two Decembers, there will be two more young from your cow. Would you agree to one of the young for me, on account of the pasture? If you don't agree to leave one of the young for me, write to me, and if you do agree, write to me.
