Honolulu Translation: [Page 1 of 4] Greetings to the two of you, Mr. Amos S. Cooke and Mrs. Cooke, I just heard last night from Konia that Makaeha is still sick these days, it was in Kalaimoku’s letter to her. It came on the Kinau, which came into port yesterday. I met with Mr. Gilman on Sunday morning of last week, I heard from him that Mrs. Cooke is sick again. I supposed it was a relapse, like I saw last year. Mine was a human's mistaken assumption and it turns out to be something quite different. Regarding her, I think she is a greatly beloved child, for [Page 2 of 4] little-loved children are seldom struck. This Mr. Gilman has now gone back. I met with him for three hours where I live and because he was a visitor I directed him to sleep here because he was apart from the others, but it was like a fish bone lodged in my throat, because of what you and Sarai told me, and that was just how it was in my mind. And because the Consul came to get him as evening fell to go to his house, we then parted. I directed him to come back here to sleep if he needed to, he did not come back. And before he went he ordered me to give him something [Page 3 of 4] �for him to do there, but I did not give him anything to do because I was choking as though it was a bone. I exist here only in body, as my thoughts and deeds go to you folks there every day, to the children and the teachers and to the caretaker of the children because of her working alone in her pursuits. And because there are so few problems there that have been reported to me, just Mrs. Cooke by herself, my thoughts are light. However, it is indeed very painful when one member in the work that we are doing experiences misfortune. Truly, the body is dysfunctional when one of its limbs is injured. And what of Lord G. Paulet, he probably being the one who cast me out so that we live apart now. Is he long gone? Did he anchor again? Regards to all of you, From Ioane Ii [Page 4 of 4] [Letter cover] [Archival note in another hand] John Ii Lahaina July, 1843 Recd 5th To Mr Amos S Kuke. Honolulu Notes: 1. Mr Amos S. Kuke ma - Mr. and Mrs. Amos Starr Cooke were missionaries with the eighth company who went on to lead the Chiefs’ Children’s School, their location at the time of this letter. 2. Konia - Laura Kanaholo Kōnia and her husband Abner Pākī were the parents of Bernice Pauahi Bishop and the hānai (adoptive) parents of Lydia Kamakaʻeha, who later ruled the Hawaiian Kingdom as Queen Liliʻuokalani. Kōnia and Pākī both served as members of the House of Nobles at the time of this letter. 3. Makaeha - This is a shortened version of Kamakaʻeha, one of the names of Liliʻuokalani. She was under the care of Kōnia and Pākī at the time of this letter, thus the mention of her health. 4. Kalaimoku - This refers to William Pitt Leleiōhoku, son of Kalanimoku and a member of the house of nobles. 5. Kinau - The Kīnaʻu was a ship that moved cargo and passengers between the islands. 6. Mr Galuman - Gorham D. Gilman was a businessman in Honolulu and was present at the time of the Paulet affair. He moved to Boston, Massachusetts in the 1860s where he was named the Hawaiian Consul General in the mid-1890s. 7. Sarai - Sarai Hiwauli was the first wife of John Papa ʻĪʻī and helped Mr. and Mrs. Cooke care for the royal students at the Chiefs’ Children’s School. �8. ke Kanikele - Literally “the Consul,” this likely refers to Alexander Simpson, who was appointed by Richard Charlton to replace him as British Consul to the Kingdom of Hawaiʻi, an appointment rejected by Kamehameha III. 9. Haku G. Paulet - Lord George Paulet was the British Naval Captain of the HMS Carysfort who belligerently occupied the Hawaiian Kingdom from February to July of 1843. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
