Ngamotu 16 February 1851 Friend, McLean, Greetings to you there. I have great affection for you, and in memory of the face of our elder, Eruera, who has died, and who will not return as friend and guide for me and our good friend, Hone; in the laws for our betterment, there will only be us. Now, as for our Pakeha, we and the Pakeha get along very well; we love them and they love us. We have no problems now, it is easy. There is only one thing that you should hear and that is that we are getting along very well. Farewell. From me, from your very good friend, from Poharama Te Whiti Friend, McLean. Really, I have great affection for you. I have left Te Kura and gone back to live at Moturoa. It wasn't on account of Te Tatana's wrong, I just went back. When will you return to us? I have very great affection for you. That's all. From me, from [your] loving young one, from Wiremu Kingi
