8 Hune 1852 Ki a Kawana kei Poneke E koro, e te Kawana, Tena koe, korua ko Te Makarini. Kia rongo mai korua ki taku kupu. Kua tae mai a korua pukapuka ki a au. Ka rongo nga tangata, ko Hakopa tetahi, ko Te Ngahuru tetahi, ka whakakahoretia taua tikanga whakawa. Ko tenei, ma korua ko Kawana e tuhituhi mai kia mohio ai au ki taua tikanga. Na Paora Kukutai Ki Kawana 8 June 1852 To the Governor at Port Nicholson Sir, Governor, Greetings to you and to McLean. Hear what I have to say. Your letters have come to me. When the people heard of this - Hakopa for one and Te Ngahuru for another - they opposed the proposal [for an?] assessor. So you and the Governor write to me so I can understand what that proposal was about. From Paora Kukutai To the Governor
