Boundaries of the Ahupuaa of Waimalu, in the District of Ewa
[margin note:] charge p. 37
application
Honolulu, August 8th 1873
Lawrence McCully, Esquire, Commissioner of Boundaries &c, Honolulu
Sir,
I have to request that you will define and settle the boundaries of the Ahupuaa of Waimalu in the District of Ewa, belonging to me.
The ahupuaa is bounded in the East, viz.: Kalauao, belonging to Mr. C.R. Bishop; the boundaries of which are defined and fixed in the Land Commission's Award for that land, on the West by Waiau, belonging to the heirs of the late Princess Victoria Kamamalu; the mauka boundary is the top of the ridge dividing Koolau from Ewa, and makai it runs to the Lagoon (Pearl River). As a large part of the Ahupuaa is taken up by Ilis, belonging to other parties, ti may be the better way to define the boundaries of that part belonging to me, rather than of the Ahupuaa; but I will ascertain and let you know about.
Respectfully Yours,
J.W. Austin by his Attorney in fact, C.R. Bishop

Kalama above the road, that Kalama's survey does not cover the whole of the land, which is supposed to extend along side of Waiau to the Kuahiwi - it is proposed now to take the testimony of the witnesses present as far as it may go.
