[Page 1 of 2]
Levi Chamberlain,
I have a message for you. There are four people who spoke to me about attending
the Poaha. I do not really know them. I am thinking that you might question them tonight,
to possibly clarify about them.
Here are their names: Kuhoomalana 1., Poohina 2., Ohilau 3. and Paniolo 4.
These people are from Waipio.
Regards to you,
John Ii
