For
Mr. Chamberlain
Greetings to you, Mr. Chamberlain,
Here is my message to you. Here are these people who want to join the Poaha:
Kalola, Kamakai, Kawana, Haanui, Naalu.

�From Kinau
Notes:
1. Kinau – Kīna‘u was a high-ranking daughter of Kamehameha and an early convert
to Christianity. She married Mataio Kekūanāoʻa in 1827 and two of their sons
became sovereigns, Kamehameha IV and Kamehameha V. Two years after this
letter, she became known as Kaʻahumanu II when she assumed the role of Kuhina
Nui of the Hawaiian Islands from 1832-1839.
2. Mikamalena – Mr. Levi Chamberlain was a member of the second company of
missionaries. He was the superintendent of secular affairs for the mission and served
as a missionary teacher.
3. poaha – Po‘ahā [lit. Thursday] is a reference to the Bible study meetings, held on
Thursdays, that prepared one for baptism and membership in the church
congregation.
4. Kalola, Kamakai, Kawana, haanui, naalu - These are the names of persons wanting
to join the Po‘ahā.
