Meeting June 1836 [Written in another hand] Autograph letterNa Kapoe Misionari O Ko Hawaii Pae aina Oahu Honolulu Translation: [Page 1 of 2] June 22, 1836 Here is my message to you, the missionaries of the Hawaiian Islands. I am directly telling you my thoughts, having just seen your request to ban liquor. Thus, I am informing you of my position. Do not assume that I do not drink. I do drink, but not to excess, just personal drinking. So, then, what would be the right thing? If I did not drink at all, then the proper thing would be apparent. This is my thought to you folks, I do, however, appreciate your intention. This opinion of mine may end, and I would quit, at which point I could put a stop to those activities. My message is done. Affection to you all, the teachers From King Kauikeaouli [Page 2 of 2] [Letter Cover] Letter of the King answer to the letter of the Gen.
