Translation:
[Page 1 of 2]
Greetings to you, Chamberlain,
Here are these people, five men, six women. They have told me of their wish to
join the Poaha, to listen to the voice of righteousness so the spirit may be redeemed by
Jesus. Thus was their message to me.
Kaleo
Kailua
Keahilele
Kaluawahinenui
Ku
Those are the five men.
Here are the women, six of them
Hainakolo
Kamoi
Kauwila
From Waipio, a land district
Kihewa
Kaluanui
Kaakau
Those are the names of the women.
I know their external form, God is the one who knows their hearts.
MaSaka Ulunui

To Chamberlain
Notes:
1. Kamalani - Mr. Levi Chamberlain came to Hawaiʻi with the second company of
missionaries. He served as the superintendent of secular affairs for the mission as
well as a missionary teacher.
2. poaha - The 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. MaSaka Ulunui - This signature is unclear. The identity of this person is uncertain
other than holding a position that allows recommendation to the Poʻahā.
