The boundary inland of Kai-iwi is a large lake; my land is a large area. I suggest there be one calf, and one large horse, and five pounds in money. It is my decision about that place and the approval for Pakeha to occupy it. I will also talk about releasing Waitotara soon; it is from my ancestor Tirau[?] Pokau[?] who lived at Te Ihupuku, and I am his grandchild. If you hear talk from someone else that he owns the land, ask who his ancestor is, and if he tells you that he and I will give it over, write to me. My proposal is for the payment to be made at Ngamotu, I don't want it paid at Wanganui. I would like it paid at Ngamotu because my younger brothers are also there, and Ihakara. Soon the main committee will make an announcement about Waitotara. That's all. From Hare Tipene, Wiremu Harapata and Moihi Mawitiwiti
Ko te rohe kei uta o Kai-iwi he moana nui, he whenua nui toku whenua. Ka mea au kia kotahi te kau kuao, kia kotahi te hoiho nui, kia rima pauna moni. Maku te whakaaro mo reira ka tika ai kia nohoia e te Pakeha. Ka korero ai au kia tukua a Waitotara a mua ake nei, na taku tipuna, na Tirau[?] Pokau[?] i noho a Te Ihupuku, ko au te mokopuna. Ka rongo kei ki te korero a tetahi ka mea nona te whenua, me ui atu tona tupuna, ka mea ia maua e tuku, me tuhituhi mai ki au. Ko taku tikanga me utu ano ki Ngamotu, kahore au i pai kia utua ki Wanganui. Ko taku i pai ai kia utua ki Ngamotu, ko aku teina ano kei kona, ko Ihakara. Tenei ake ano te komiti nui kia karangatia a Waitotara. Heoi ano. Na Hare Tipene, na Wiremu Harapata, na Moihi Mawitiwiti
