Port Nicholson 10 March 1848 Friend, McLean, Greetings to you. Young man, my word to you is not to be fooled and give payment for the land to Rawi Te Motutere, should he go to you for the money due to Hauranga. We do not approve of his right, his and his sister's. Don't listen
Poneke 10 Maehe 1848 E hoa, e Te Makarini, Tena ra koe. E tama, he kupu atu ianei taku ki a koe, kei porangi koe ki te homai utu mo te whenua ki a Rawi Te Motutere, i haere atu ia ki te ki atu ki a koe kia homai nga utu o Hauranga ki a ia. Kaore matou i pai atu ki tana tikanga, ko raua noki ko tana tamahine. Kaua koe e whakarongo mai
