18 June 1845 Friend, McLean, Greetings to you. I have felt greatly concerned for you day and night, but it will be well and my heart revive when you come here. Friend, there are still problems for you [to resolve], many bad deeds and much fighting. But with the right approach by the Pakeha and by me, we could find common ground with the Pakeha. Young man, I've have been preoccupied by the trouble, for one week I've been distracted by the trouble. But Hawira has come now, and there are two of us to think about it. That is all. From Te Waka
