When Hamett was leaving for Tahiti he left a bequest with me that Kalaki and her daughter be cared for, also that Kalaki be provided with a lot to live on and that the daughter may have this same privilege. I have not heard that anyone has objected to them. I had seen on one of my visits some people there building a house and I had asked Kalaki, "For whom is that house?" "For Umeume, a house for her to live in when she comes over from Maui," Kalaki had answered.
In the year 1843 1 had heard Aiona ask Kalaki for a certification in writing to Lord G. Paulet that that property has been possessed by Umeume."
Aa was sworn by the Bible and stated, (I) have heard the conversation between Umeume and Aiona in Lahaina. Aiona said to Umeume, "Sell that property for all of that money and when the proceeds of that property is received, then it shall be for Kalieka. Umeume said, "It would be best not to sell it, do not touch my place."

That was the end of what I had heard. I did not hear Umeume's bequest for that place because I was gone and she died later.
