N.R. 190-191v7
Hear ye, ye Land Commissioners: I have a claim in an 'ili in the Ahupua`a of Pelekunu on the Island of Molokai. Its name is Kaueiki and it is 31 fathoms on the north, 105 fathoms on the south, 177&½ fathoms on the east and 150 fathoms on the west.
This is taro land, and a portion of kula. It has been held from the time of Kamehameha I. The former konohiki, Kulaahila, gave it to my makuas, who have died, and I have inherited the land. Kapuai is the present konohiki. I request that if my claim is found valid it be awarded to me.
