N.R. 469-470v2
Greetings to the Land Commissioners: I hereby tell you of the lot of my mo`opuna, Mere, at Kamakela in Honolulu. It is bounded on the north by the land of Keawe, on the east and south by the land of Kaluaalani, and on the west by the lot of Kaweluahi.
This lot was from my own grandparents, Kuheleloa ma. They returned to Maui and we two, myself and my mo`opuna Mere, live there.
Kuheleloa made the fence and the two houses on it are ours. We have held it peacefully with no objections. The lot is not for me, but for Mere. I only take care of our lot.

Keaka's place, Ewa
