Notes:
1. 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.
�2. Hamaukoli – A female student.
3. ka poaha – The Poʻahā [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. Linau – Likely an unclear spelling of Kīna‘u. 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.
5. Kuhia – It is unclear as to why Kuhia's name is on the cover of the letter.
