That is the extent of my debt to you. And the amount of money is one hundred fifty-five dollars, and because J.S. Emerson took my one thousand thirty feet of Northwest lumber, the value being one hundred thirteen dollars, therefore Emerson’s debt to me is no longer outstanding. Here are fifty-two dollars. Write me out an invoice for the remainder of my debt to you taking into account the fifty-two dollars. That is my message to you. With gratitude, M. Kekuanaoa [Page 2 of 2] [Letter cover] For Cooke Treasurer for missionaries Notes: 1.
