�To Mr. Chamberlain
[Page 1 of 1, right side]
Greetings, Mr. Chamberlain.
Here is my short message to you. Do provide some white paint, if you would be so kind
to me, and do give some copper for Paalua.
From Kinau
Notes:
1. Kinau – Kīna‘u was a high-ranking daughter of Kamehameha and an early convert to
Christianity. She married Mataio Kekūanāoʻa in 1827 and two of their sons became sovereigns,
Kamehameha IV and Kamehameha V. Kīnaʻu became known as Kaʻahumanu II when she
assumed the role of Kuhina Nui (regent) of the Hawaiian Islands from 1832-1839.
2. Kemelena – 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. Paalua – A Hawaiian schooner used for interisland trade and passage. Originally referred to as
a man-o-war, the ship belonged to the Hawaiian government, which collected the fees for cargo
and passage.
