Dear Sir
Mr. F.H. Harris is authorized by the commissioners of Crown lands to make application to you as commissioner of Boundaries to have the boundaries of all Crown lands on the Island of Hawaii defined. He has a list of the lands with him.
I have also authorized Mr. F.H. Harris to make application to you for the settlement of boundaries of all lands belonging to Estate of His late Majesty and Her Excellency, R. Keelikolani.
I expect to be in Kona by the trip of the "Kilauea" which leaves here on the 28th instant. Can't you make it convenient to come round as the steamer goes to Hilo on that trip.

Case Continued from August 13th 1873
See Folios 253, 254 & 255, Book A.
D.H. Hitchcock filed map & Notes of survey.
D.H. Hitchcock, kane, sworn, I surveyed Puawaa taking Aoa for my kamaaina. I found no dispute as to boundary between Puawaa and Puanahulu. On the boundary between Kaupulehu and Puawaa there is a dispute. The witness Kahueai of Kaupulehu, I found, was dead. Commencing on the beach at a place called Laemano, old salt works, I took it, at an old wall with sand each side, and old salt work on the South side, and salt works some distance off on the North side. Thence we surveyed to Ahu at Mawae a short distance below road, as Aoa pointed out to me.
The other kamaaina pointed out the boundary towards Kona taking old cultivating ground, Oweowe, that Aoa said alway[s] belonged to Kaupulehu. The Ahu Aoa pointed out is near cave. Thence I ran mauka to a point of Aa running down into a kipuka; thence I ran a straight line to Punakowai. I found that the witnesses of Puewaa & Kaupulehu all meet at Punakowai, but Keliihanapule's evidence crosses the land of Puawaa to Puuiki and then back to Punakowai. From Puakowai [sic] I ran a straight line to Pohakumahaha. It is a prominent mark on side of mountain, an old crater with three divisions in it, middle division belongs to this land. One of the other divisions belongs to Kaupulehu, and another to Puanahulu. Punihaole was with me when I surveyed Puawaa on the Puuanahulu side, and said he was satisfied with the survey. He is the lessee of Puawaa.
Cross-examined
Cooper claims to Puuiki for Kaupulehu. I surveyed as pointed out by Aoa, and my judgement on [illegible] evidence.
Case continued until further notice to interested parties.
