Greetings to the Land Commissioners: I hereby write my claim for land. Kaiholena is the name of the `ili; there are two sections of land. It is known that one section is 420 long, 120 wide, which are the old boundaries of the land which was measured. My claim is an old one, from Jakopa /Jacob/ Malo. I also claim 2 houses, one is at Kaiholena and the other is in another `ili. There are 3 in another `ili. Also there is a sweet potato planting in another `ili.
