�Notes:
1. Mikemelena - 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.
2. 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.
3. Kale Kalua Kama - The names of students to join the Poʻahā.
4. Iokepeta 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.
