N.R. 54v3
To the Land Commissioners, Greetings: I hereby tell you of my claims at Waikiki in the `ili of Kamoku, which was from the Mo`i; I live there under his protection, and the ko`eles and po`alimas, and the genuine land* and the coconut grove and the fishery and the benefits of the land are mine under the Mo`i.
My own claims are a house lot and three lo`i which are my very own, from my makuahine.
I also tell you of Kamoku Two, the `ili of William Lunalilo which I have. The po`ailimas and the ko`eles are for William Lunalllo. I hold it as was the custom of the makuas.
Here is my own claim, for a house lot and five lo`i which is held by my kaikuahine who is over me, but I have the administration of it, this was the own property of our makuakane; three are her own and two are mine, a total of five lo`i.
There is also a claim for a small single lo`i in Kuilei; this single claim is held by me.
These are my claims which I tell you of.
Farewell to you all,
L. KULUWAILEHUA
