Honolulu, Jun. 3,1827
Sincere love to you two Mr. & Mrs. Loomis
I have affection for you, my
friends on account of your returning
to America. Too see all your friends
there. Herein is my affection towards
you. When you arrive in America, think of my love. Do not forget
in the least. This is what I desire,
when you print; Do you print together ^the gospel of Matthew
with John and Luke and Mark and
Adam,* and the Acts of the apostles, and
the Epistles, and indeed indeed the whole
of the word of god. Let none be omitted.
There (with the scriptures) are my affections forever. Our thoughts centre in the
love of God. I say unto you, give my
love to all the chiefs in America. Together
with all friends there: for the refreshing
breeze now blows here even from the
presence of God. Here is my love to
them wafted by the winds you ye will
�obtain it there.
Elizabeth
Mr.& Mrs. Loomis
