This is a discussion between the Governor and myself for this land to be given to me to fulfil what he had arranged with me. [See Accompanying map] This is the part that I wanted you to give me. This land belongs to Tori Dick Barrett's children This is the part of the land I want you to give me Joel It was only on the fourth day that part of what Governor told me was carried out. Listen to me in regard to the boundaries of Ngamotu. One is at Waireka and at Ngamotu and from there inland then to the sea. Sir, The Governor I have given serious consideration to many statements from my friend McLean to me, that the surveyors setting aside the part of the land for me McLean and the surveyors have agreed. We have also heard that the maps of the land have been completed. I am of opinion that my portion of the land should include my cultivations on the land. I should be given the option to claim them or to let the Europeans have them. Never-the-less be generous to me. I have shown generosity to you when you first visited Ngamotu and I have maintained that generosity.
