Na Leta a na Makaainana

Dear Maleolm. " • I saw axopy of Ke Alahou in a friend's office._ , We have mueh in eommon. Let's get together and in the meantime put eaeh other on our respective mailing lists. Fm sending this note with 3 copy of our latest monthly magazine. — , —— ' » Aloha, Jerry Hopkins _ Editor, Ha'ilono Mele Dear Brother: It is with humility and pride that we write this letter. The moral courage of Billie Beamer reflecting deep cōncerns and committments, her discipliries, in spite of the frustrations, disgust and humiliation of our people, are something tō behold. The repēated tragedy of contempt is clearly stated in her writing. May the words ofher article, of your December 1979 issue, be burned into the hearts and soulsof every Hawaiian. May the integrity of her scholarship and the irrevocable evidence submitted be a rock of faith for justice. This is our mana'o with our prayers of well-being for our sister. _ Aloha Lahui O Hawaii Leilani & Leon K. Sterling Jr. Aloha no,. Maika'i keia hana noeau i 'oukou. Kala mai na hewa.
