Typescript: [Page 1 of 4] American Hotel San Francisco October 31st 1849 My dear Mr. Bates, Sir, It is so late to night & I have been writing all day & most of all my time has been occupied this two days past that I cannot but write you a few lines to-night as I want to finish up all my letters to-night for the Islands, and to-morrow leave San Francisco on the Steamer California. Capt Budd for Panama. The Doctor knows him very well having seen him at the Islands in the Exploring Expedition. Nothing of any importance has taken place since I wrote you last worthy of leting you know, except if I would say of our we attending several times in the Square here at the Democratic Meeting for electing a senator & representatives to the congress, and a Governor for San Francisco. It was quite �[Page 2 of 4] an interesting time there, seeing that it was first time that we ever saw, the people of foreign country electing officers. We have seen the Commodore Jones since I wrote you last, and have been occupied pretty much in visiting for the Governments and the Doctor has done much some in favor of his mission, in making a Treaty here with Mr Eames, the Commissioner for the Islands from the United States. Though he dont expect to go to the Islands because he expects to be superseded by another ^person and so he expects to stop here till he hears from the United States. I think he has received letters from the United States, seeing that the Steamer brought in the mail to-night. I send with your letter here one for Miss Bernice and my sister, please take the trouble, to see if they have any letters to write for me, & please direct them to Scheyler Livingston Esq New York. Please remember me to Mr Bates & all the family, and believe me your sincere son Lot Kamehameha [Page 3 of 4] P.S.
