Greetings to the Land Commissioners: I have a claim in an `ili of Mapulehu Ahupua`a on the Island of Molokai. The name of this `ili is Mua. The `ili on the west is Puhiweuweu, for Kihilauakea. The `ili on the east is Kanaluaiwa, for Ku.* It is 60 feet by 20 fathoms. It was given me by Kanae.
I have cultivated this land until this day and go to the po`alima labor days for this land. I request that you award this land to me.
KEKUPU
/The claim placed both the bounding `ilis on the west. However, in the previous claim the `ili of Kanaluaiwa is located on the east of Kekupu's claim./
