E hoa E Te Retimona,—
Wairau, 14th o Maehe, 1851. Tena koe. Kua tao mai tou kairuri ki a matou ko Parana, nana i ruri i te rohe i korerotia e tatou. Kua kite matou i tera ruri, tika tonu te rohe ki o matou whakaaro, ina kua tuhia iho ki roto i te pukapuka ruri, kua tuhia hoki o matou ingoa i roto. Ko te wahi whero to matou wahi i whakatapua mo matou. Ko te wahi ma te nga Pakeha kei waenganui ano te rohe. Heoi ano o matou kupu ki a koe. Na matou,
Wi Kanae.
Haka.
