Ki a Hotene, E taku hoa tena koe. He mate ano tenei nohau, he whenua ano ko nga eka o tenei whenua ano ko nga eka o tenei whenua 3000, ko nga utu i riro ai i a Tatana £1000 pauna e ki ana tera he nama naku, no reira ka mau tera ki te whenua hei utu, ka kiia mai e ia kia au me homai

a Moteo hei utu mo toi nama, maku e hoatu ki a koe nga toenga, me nga moni tonu £1500 pauna hui katoa £2500 pauna.

Na, ko nga moni i riro mai i a au, i kite ano aku kanohi e £650 pauna, ko nga toenga o te moni kaore au i mohio, he mea naku kia hoki mai te whenua ka ata whakarite ai i te waahi mo nga moni ko taku rohe i te tukunga, ko Haumakawe ka rere i te taha o te kainga o Parataweiti, ka puta ki Tutaekuri.
Ka mutu

E hoa mau ano e ui mai kia au.

To Hotene
I hope this letter finds you well. I'm writing to discuss another important matter that requires your attention. It concerns a parcel of land spanning 3,000 acres. Tatana has received £1,000, which he asserts is to settle a debt of mine. As a result, he intends to retain this sum as payment, using the land as collateral. He has proposed that I offer

Moteo to clear your debt. In addition to this, I will provide you with the remaining land and £1,500 in cash, bringing the total value to £2,500.

I've only seen £650 of the money received. Once the land is returned, we'll properly allocate areas based on value. My boundary was Haumakawe, running by Parataweiti's home to Tutaekuri.

Let me know if you need more details.
Regards, Paora Torotoro
