John Ii. [Page 2 of 2] [Letter Cover] John Ii. April 14. 1828 Mr. Bingham Honolulu Kawaiahao Oahu Translation: [Page 1 of 2] Hawaii, Kaawaloa April 14, 1828 Greetings to you, Mr. Bingham, Here is my message to you two. You both should advise Hiwauli, my companion, to clarify for her the righteousness of the word of God, so that the actions of husband and wife in the kingdom properly fulfill all the practices of God regarding husband and wife. Just as all of you properly observe the roles of husband and wife, such is my intention for her. Regarding that which God has granted to us all as blessings for all persons, that is my thought to you two; that perhaps it is how it should be. Here is another message to the two of you, Kaawaloa is good, there is decorum, wisdom, strength, and proper care, but it is only the two chiefs, their retainers and some other people. On the Sabbath, however, many people are there on that day. I give my salutations to you two there, and to Mr. Chamberlain, Mr. Goodrich and the printers. Beloved is our work. I proceed, thoughtful of our efforts. Do extend my regards to the visitors. God has protected them with grace and God has watched over all of you along with us here in this land of darkness. Deep regards for you folks who see all those who come there. We all love Jesus Christ, our Lord of salvation. John Ii [Page 2 of 2] [Letter Cover] John Ii.
