Whakamāoritanga | TranslationAugust 20 1873
To Henare Matua and the Committee, this is our land that will be given to the Committees for them to manage the arrangements for this land whether to lease or for some other suitable arrangement. The name of this land is Waihau and the acres of this land are fifteen thousand, one hundred and twenty (15,120) acres at four pence per acre as payment to the surveyor, the payment for the surveyor is two hundred and fifty-two pounds £252.
The problem with this land is that measurement by Te Kakiroa, it was an unauthorised measurement by that person and his sister without the full money. The committees know this, please look at the nature of this money that lies upon this land.
The boundaries of this land begin at Mangaotara, Te Hakaa Tumatakokiri, Te Ahinamu o Tamahakua, it runs through Kaikoura and emerges at Haroa, runs through Hangaroa and meets again at Mangaotara, at the place where that boundary began.
