No. 526, Kalaimoku, September 7, 1846

Hoapili asked him, "Have you lost your place to John Young?" "Yes," was the answer, "the King gave it to him."So Hoapili gave one half of Kuakini's place to Kalaimoku and that was in 1839. I have heard only all of these things from Kalaimoku, nevertheless, I did live there with them in 1839.
Kalaimoku did build houses but did not enclose the lot, Waipa's old fence is still there.
Kupalii's interest was asked of Kalaimoku by Kupalii's chief Maoheau. He and his relatives filled the place and built their houses in 1839, where they are still standing presently.
Postponed until the land officers can come to see this place and pass a final decision.
