No. 8521, K. Kailaweikeau
N.R. 393-394v9
Greetings to the Land Commissioners: I, a subject on the island of Kauai, hereby state my claim for land. The right of occupancy has been from the time of the fighting at Wahiawa, until this 18th day of January 1848. It measures 33 fathoms on the north, east, south and west. That is my claim which is stated to you. I also have some houses within my lot. It is for you, the Land Commissioners, at Hale Kauwila, to make the award. This claim is at Puahuahoi at Hanalei on Kauai.
I am, respectfully,
KAILAWEIKEAU
The witnesses:
Makailio, Nahoa, Pumimi
/Note written in English:/ The above house lot is on the land claimed by Rhodes & Co. but has been occupied by the Natives for a long time and should, I think, be granted them, though Rhodes & Co. be indemnified by Government. W. Alexander informed me that the above lots were thrown out of the original lease to Bernard when first measured.

Jules Dudoit stated that he understood from Mr. Judd & Mr. Rhodes that the new boundary of the land leased by Rhodes & Co. made by the King on his Visit to Kauai was to be unencumbered by any remaining native rights and that the Native Tenants were to receive an equivalent in other land of the King outside of the boundary & I know nothing of any written contract or agreement of the natives to the same, or whether they had ever received any equivalent as a document of such an arrangement.
