(Copy)
Ship Europa, Nov 2, 1837
To the Governor,
We the subscribers, citizens of the
Republic of Chili have the honor to show to you that political difficulties of state have obliged us to flee from
our country. We have taken passage to the continent
of South America * by the direction of these islands
(*probably North America)
[Page 27 of 34]
with your permission. We only wish to remain here as
long as necessary to obtain a passage.
We protest to you that we have not come as merchants nor of any other profession to this port. Be pleased, sir, to accept the considerations of esteem &amp; respect with
which we subscribe ourselves.
Signed
Salvador Pugor
Vinciente Obistondo
Pablo Fuerto

�Notes:
1. Governor - Although Mataio Kekūanāoʻa was officially the governor of Oʻahu at the
time of this letter, it is apparently inteded for Kīnaʻu, Kaʻahumanu II.
2. Salvador Pugor, Vinciente Obistondo &amp; Pablo Fuerto - These three passengers aboard
the ship Europa respond to Kīnaʻu's request of the captain if any of his passengers were
of the Catholic faith.
