No. 250, Namauu
Greetings to you, W. Richards, and the Land Commissioners: I am telling you of my claim for a house lot, Kolopo, here in Honolulu, this is the verification: from the Moi, this house lot was given my kaikuahine, Kauhiakapo until her death, and I inherited it, as it was given her by the Moi, thus it became mine, to take care of, under the Moi.

No. 250, Namauu, Omitted in Native Book by N. Clerk
To Quiet Land Title: I hereby state my claim for a house lot in Kolopo, in Honolulu.
This house lot was given by the Mo'i to my kaikuahine, Kauhiakapo /and she had it/ until her death, when she bequeathed it to me. As the Mo`i had given it to her, so it was transferred to me to care for under the Mo`i.
From the time she bequeathed it to me I have taken care of it, nor left it, nor has it been disputed. I have had this house lot from 1836 until the present.
Here is the diagram of the house lot. (presented by Namauu)

No. 250, Namauu, December 13 [1847]
Kaalunui, sworn by the Word of God and stated, "I have seen this property in Honolulu here.
My place is on the Waikiki side
Thompson's property toward the mountain
Poe's place Ewa and
Hotel Street is on the oceanside.
I have known since 1836 to the present time that the property is for Namauu. It is enclosed, there is a house and a hunched-back foreigner who is a tailor living there as a tenant for Namauu. He is now repairing the house. Namauu had received this interest from Kaahumanu and she had received her interest from the chief. No other claimant is there."
