30 July 1845 Friend, McLean, Greetings. We have great affection for you. Our right over Kaupokonui still stands. Te Ropiha, Te Reweti and my right will be forever, and even after we die, our right over Kaupokonui will not end. And should someone put out a word for Kaupokonui, it would not be right. Te Ropiha
Hurae 30 o nga ra 1845 E hoa, e Te Makarini, Tena koe. Ka nui to matou aroha atu ki a koe. Tenei ano te mau nei ta tatou tikanga mo Kaupokonui. Ko ta maua tikanga ko Te Ropiha, ko Te Reweti, e kore e mate ake ake; mate noa o matou tinana, e kore e mutu te tikanga mo Kaupokonui. Ahakoa puta he kupu a te tangata mo Kaupokonui, e kore e tika. Ka tohe maua ko Te Ropiha
