The undersigned, acting for Madam Akahi, would respectfully request that the boundaries of her land, the Ahupuaa of Puuepa, in Kohala, Hawaii now under lease to Dr. J. Wight, be defined, and settled. The survey of the said land and the notes of the same will be in possession of Mr. S.C. Wiltse, of Hamakua, who will present them at the hearing and act for Akahi.

This land of Puuepa is bounded by the sea by one of the Puuepas belonging to Government and J. Wight; Ahikiaa belonging to Government, and by Kukuipahu, belonging to H. Christiansen.

Respectfully,
(Signed) C.R. Bishop
