Chamberlain Translation: [Page 1 of 2] Greetings to you, Mr. Chamberlain, I arrived at your house this morning. Kaahumanu sent me to you, and when I arrived you were not there. Here is what she told me to present to you in writing. Give her raw flour - perhaps a whole barrel or a portion thereof, or perhaps a single bucket, whichever of those you think proper to give. If you are to give her one of those things, you should perhaps notify her in writing of the appropriate payments in your opinion, for her to help out with whatever is given to her. That is what I am saying, but it is up to you. From me, John Ii Halekauila December 28, 1837 [Page 2 of 2] [Letter Cover] John Ii December 28, 1837 L. Chamberlain Notes: 1.
