Charles Kanaina
September 27, 1838

�For
Chamberlain
Pahua
Chamberlain,
Provide me with a pane of glass for my house that is ten inches tall and eight inches wide,
for I have a small glass currently in place, but it does not fit the door of my house. If you do get
one, let this glass be for me, for I searched the stores and found nothing.
Notes:
1. Chs Kanaina - Charles Kanaʻina was a man of chiefly lineage who married Miriam
ʻAuhea Kekāuluohi. Their son, Willian Charles Lunalilo, became the sixth monarch of
the Hawaiian Kingdom.
2. Kamalani - Mr. Levi Chamberlain was a member of the second company of missionaries.
He was the superintendent of secular affairs for the mission and served as a missionary
teacher.
3. Pahua - The first letter of this word is uncertain, being on a tear of the paper, but is
possibly Pahua, an area near Kawaiahaʻo, where Chamberlain resided in Honolulu.
