and two of their sons became sovereigns, Kamehameha IV and Kamehameha V. Two years

[Page 1 of 6]
Oahu Honolulu, January 27, 1838
I am Kaahumanu II,
I hereby clarify to you all, those from foreign lands and those of this island chain, about
our tasks this year. Here is the work: I will be widening the roads in our city and
demolishing some sections. Five streets along the length of the land, six streets across the
breadth of the land; the road in the center of the city shall be 10 fathoms wide, it being
the road that runs directly from Kikihale to the church at Waiahao.
The adjacent roads are to be six fathoms wide and the intersections six wide. As
for the roads along the breadth of the land, two will be six fathoms wide, namely, Fort
and Hotel Streets. Adjacent streets will be five fathoms wide with intersections four
fathoms wide. That is how our roads will be made.
[Page 2 of 6]
Trouble with the roads have led some to nearly be killed by horse riders, and the
king of the country barely escaped [that fate] in 1834. Trouble with the roads has caused
entanglements for those who maintain our city and for the king's government; the conflict
between roads and house lots is likely the cause of the filth, stink and crowding that
sickens people of the city. Trouble with the roads increases the foul things that the nose
smells. Those are likely the causes of dull headaches and many have died. Therefore,
obstruct,
[Page 3 of 6]
lot holders of the city, do not begrudgingly obstruct those who must work on our roads.

�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.
