Section II: This section was given by Loisa Kalalou in the year 1837 probably, and she lived under Mrs. Hoapili. No one has objected to this place to this day.
Section III: Lasaro Kalohi had given this section in 1838 probably; he is the konohiki of Molokai. There is a house there and Mr. Mana has given sixty dollars so as to enable him to live there; no one has objected to this time.
Section IV: This had been Kupa's (Cooper? the black foreigner) place previously and we (two) had bought it from him for $20.00 perhaps, I don't quite remember. Kupa's interest had been from Kalohi, acquired before 1839. I don't remember when it was bought. There is a school house and Paluna lives there (on the land) now.
Kaauwai, sworn and stated, "I have heard and I have also seen. The boundaries are exactly as have been related here. I have seen the missionaries live here before 1839 until this day."
