Nahaolelua [Letter Cover] Gov. P. Nahaolelua May 20. 1854 Translation: [Page 1 of 1] Honolulu May 20. / 54 Baldwin, Greetings to you. I have a bit of something to tell you, as follows: this Legislature is not like the Legislature of the past year, 1853. Here is the difference, in my opinion: there is no foreigner in the House of Nobles now to oppose the statements of Wyllie, when previously, Judd was the one who would oppose. Wyllie’s statements nearly always prevail. No foreigner opposes him, only a few Hawaiians do. They are the only ones who pose opposition. That is my only concern, for you have heard about Wyllie's previous actions. My thoughts are relieved, though, at the work of the House of Representatives; they are working to abolish beer establishments and the great amount of liquor sold at Polo's place. Regards to the entire household, With gratitude, P. Nahaolelua [Letter Cover] Gov. P. Nahaolelua May 20. 1854 Notes: 1. Parauina – Rev. Dwight Baldwin arrived with the fourth company of missionaries and served as a physician on Maui. �2. Wale - R.C. Wale, Robert Crichton Wyllie, a doctor and businessman from Scotland who settled in Hawaiʻi in 1844. He became a member of the House of Nobles and served many years as the Minister of Foreign Affairs for the Kingdom of Hawaiʻi. 3. Kauka - Dr. Gerrit Parmele Judd, known as Kauka, was a member of the 3rd company of missionaries, arriving in Hawaiʻi in 1828. A medical doctor by training, he became an important advisor to the king and the government, holding a number of official positions and resigning from the mission in 1842. 4. Polo - The identity of Polo is uncertain, but is likely either an area in Honolulu, the name of a liquor establishment or the name of someone who owned such a place. Polelewa, sometimes spelled Pololewa, was a portion of Honolulu town with shops and bars. 5. P. Nahaolelua - Paul Nāhaolelua served in various government positions. At the time of this letter he was the royal governor of Maui and a member of the House of Nobles. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
