Listen, Mr. Chamberlain,	&#13;  

�I am requesting from you shoes for my boy, David. He is lacking any shoes. If you would
furnish them, let me know the amount of money you would like.	&#13;  
Charles Kanaina	&#13;  
	&#13;  
Notes: 	&#13;  
1. Mi Kamalani - Mr. Levi Chamberlain was a member of the second company of
missionaries, superintendent of secular affairs for the mission and served as a
missionary teacher.
2. David - In his 1874 book "The Friend, Or, Advocate of Truth," M.T.C. Gould
references David as a first son of Kanaʻina and Kekāuluohi who died young, and
this could be a reference to him. It could also possibly refer to David Kalākaua,
later the seventh sovereign of the kingdom, who was a student at the Chiefs’
Children’s School in Honolulu and not directly related to Charles Kanaʻina.
3. Charles Kanaina - Charles Kanaʻina was a man of chiefly lineage who married
Miriam Kekāuluohi. Their son, William Charles Lunalilo, was the sixth monarch
of the Hawaiian Kingdom.
