Dear Sir: In accordance with your
statement made in public, 1 would ask
that you would kindly assist me with
your advice where 1 lack in knowledge
of matters pertaining to the land laws,
that the homestead clause be repealed
and the lease on cash freehold system
be continued.
These are some of the detriment
that your fellow citizens who are living
and have lots from the government, as
homesteadersat Kalaoa, have to con-
tend with The terms of their agree
ment have expired and the conditions
have all been complied with, and lid
patent for long occupancy has been re-
ceived.
| Another matter we have applied
to the commissioner of lands that GU
| first agreements be cancelled and othe
| agreements granted us in accordance
/ with law, under Settlement Association
Lease on Cash Freehold, all of TIN
have been approved but as yet we hav
not received the agreements, this 4
i nearlyabout four months ago. If thi
| request had some from some rich MAJ
! it would have been granted therefor,
please kindly look into this matter
and do what in your judgment vii
relieve us of this great trouble. w,
have erected large wooden buildings
and if the land is taken away from Vi
we will be in great distress.
IF there are any petitions to bc
signed you prepare them and senC
them up for signature.
There are a number of detrimental
laws enacted while many others if car
red out would be beneficial to the
people
IF these ideas are not correct, kindly
reply stating your opinion on this
question.
q am writing to Makekau and u
Kanuiho. You are the first that have
written TO- This letter is written not
only on my account but at the reques
of all the people living on these lands
This is sufficient. Respectful yours
