Typescript: [Page 1 of 1] [Archival Note] To Mr Loomis (translation) No. 201 Oahu, December 6, 1826 This is my sentiment knows thou, approbation is the chief thing which my heart maintains respecting the business which your company have brought hither and which had recently been obtained by us- “We were dwelling in darkness. When we were arrived at [or visited] by you, the obscurity of our eyes was opened. When this was done we saw clearly the light of the Lord; we had great dread fear, and dread, and awe. [ or alarm] But gracious indeed was the Lord Jesus Christ, and I have given up my heart to follow after Jesus Christ; and my desire and chief trust, to follow the straight path of righteousness and the love of Jehovah the everlasting Father. There am I permanently that is passed, [or having finished this statement] here is another thought in addition. Salute the company of kindred in America and desire my love to them. Tell them I pray to God for them, tell them pray to God for us here that he would make known the meaning of the love of Jesus Christ. Such are my sentiments; I communicate them that you may know. What I have said is wrong perhaps, look ye: and if it is wrong, it is because the work of Jesus Christ �is not fully understood. That is perhaps the reason why my thoughts are not right. What I have to say is finished. (By) Gov. J. Adams Notes: 1. Mr. Loomis - Elisha Loomis arrived with the first company of missionaries to Hawaiʻi on March 30, 1820 and was Hawaiʻi's first printer. 2.
