Waitara, Te Tatau-o-te-po 2 August 1852 Friend, Governor Grey, Greetings to you. Listen, I, Enoka, have spoken to McLean and Cooper about our land. You and Piri Kawau saw that land, when you came to speak to Wiremu Kingi and me.

Now, similarly with this, we agreed to finish with Te Wera-o-Waitohi, and so we spoke to McLean. This statement is from our council about our land of Te Wera-o-Waitohi, which Ropoama gave over to you. Governor, you gave Ropoama £600 in payment for Te Wera-o-Waitohi. Listen,
