J. Ii. Translation: [Page 1 of 4] Letter from John Ii [Page 2 of 4] Hon. John Ii Waiawa 15 Dec. 1869 To the chairman of the Island Ministerial Conference Greetings to all of you Because of my problem with insufficient time to edit a copy or copies of the historical fragments for our newspaper, copies that might meet the wishes of one from the Supreme Court, according to what he had earlier commanded of me this past month. I am supposed to send it to him next Friday. And as to things and [Page 3 of 4] folks of this district, their vigor has diminished in the services and Sunday school, but those services have continued to this time. Volunteers have decreased as well, but no commotion or arguing is heard. Also the disagreement between myself and J. Kahauolono concerning the book is over, and we get along fine. There have not been many deaths, and there have been 19 healthy births, while 9 have died. Some are pregnant – perhaps 19. There is not much drunkenness, only very little, and it is the same for awa intoxication. It is not certain [Page 4 of 4] when these ways will end, and the same with pagan ways and such. But the Lord is the one who knows all. Also, if some item or items are considered for the days ahead, they can be seen in our newspaper. Additionally, I have continually pressed for the outstanding debts of the subscribers, 52 dollars. This should be submitted before the stated deadline – it is 53 total, and I have one dollar in hand. If the subscribers are amenable, they will pay in full, and thus the remainders shall be brought in. With love, your speaker, J. Ii Notes: 1. J. ʻĪʻī – John Papa ‘Ī‘ī (1800-1870) had many roles in the Kingdom of Hawaii, and was writing a column for the newspaper Ka Nupepa Kuokoa about Hawaiian history, parts �of which were later published in English as “Fragments of Hawaiian History,” for which ‘Ī‘ī is well known today. 2. J. Kahauolono – J. Kahauolono was the luna pa aupuni or pound master for the Waiawa district of O‘ahu. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
