Lot Details
4 pages with only the front with hand written text. The letter is headed "Bau", originally a house site (yavu) at Kubuna on the Wanibuka River in the interior of Levi Vatu, but today "Bau" usually refers to the small offshore islet, home of the Paramount chiefs "Kubuna" to those who claim kinship with the chiefly families, or those who "go with" Bau in the wider politics of Fiji.
