No. 8057, Honokaupu, Honolulu, February 14, 1848
N.R. 484-485v5
Greetings to the Land Commissioners of the honorable Mo`i of the Hawaiian Islands: I hereby state my claim for land to you, it is a mo`o at Nuuanu, in the land of Kahapaakai. It is well farmed, there are also some weed-grown lo`is, and a kula for planting sweet potatoes, and a place also for my animals to run. The house is on the mauka side, this is the lot of Kanaina for Mikapole. From the road which ascends Nuuanu, to the stream, and climbing to the pali from the corner of the wall, passing seaward of the jumping* place and ascending on that bank. That is the end of my little claim which is stated to you, the Land Commissioners.
Farewell to you all, respectfully,
L.M. HONOKAUPU
/*A place in the stream where the sport of jumping feet first into a pool was enjoyed./
