[Page 1 of 6]
Oahu Honolulu, January 27, 1838
I am Kaahumanu II,
I hereby clarify to you all, those from foreign lands and those of this island chain, about
our tasks this year. Here is the work: I will be widening the roads in our city and
demolishing some sections. Five streets along the length of the land, six streets across the
breadth of the land; the road in the center of the city shall be 10 fathoms wide, it being
the road that runs directly from Kikihale to the church at Waiahao.
The adjacent roads are to be six fathoms wide and the intersections six wide. As
for the roads along the breadth of the land, two will be six fathoms wide, namely, Fort
and Hotel Streets. Adjacent streets will be five fathoms wide with intersections four
fathoms wide. That is how our roads will be made.
[Page 2 of 6]
Trouble with the roads have led some to nearly be killed by horse riders, and the
king of the country barely escaped [that fate] in 1834. Trouble with the roads has caused
entanglements for those who maintain our city and for the king's government; the conflict
between roads and house lots is likely the cause of the filth, stink and crowding that
sickens people of the city. Trouble with the roads increases the foul things that the nose
smells. Those are likely the causes of dull headaches and many have died. Therefore,
obstruct,
[Page 3 of 6]
lot holders of the city, do not begrudgingly obstruct those who must work on our roads.

To the Governor,
We the subscribers, citizens of the

our country. We have taken passage to the continent
of South America * by the direction of these islands

[Page 27 of 34]
with your permission. We only wish to remain here as
long as necessary to obtain a passage.

which we subscribe ourselves.

Kauwila House, Honolulu Nov 2, 1837
This is my order to the captain of the ship called
the Europa. I have heard by Capt Bruce of the British ship Imogene that you are expected to bring teachers of the religion of the Pope. If this is true & they
have really come, I say to you by no means allow any
of them to land till I give you permission in writingthen you may do so. & if you act contrary to this order,
this is the forfeiture, ten thousand dollars to ^be paid by you
& by the ship Europa
This is what I make known to you, for their
practices are taboo (forbidden) within the dominions of
my king; but if you have not brought the said persons, you are at liberty to enter the harbor without
any obstruction.
By me,
(Signed)
Kaahumanu II.

Date of Letter:
November 2, 1837
From:
Kinau
To:
Spanish Subjects
Content Summary:
Kīna‘u replies to the passengers of the Europa. She allows the Spanish subjects to come ashore,
but she further investigates the English and French subjects. Through various correspondence,
she discovers that the French subject is indeed a Roman Catholic, and does not permit him to
land even though he reassures her that he is to abide by the laws. The end of this document
shows a dialogue between Kīna‘u and Jules Dudoit regarding this incident.

Answers (copies)
Salutations to you Chilian passengers on board
the Europa. I have seen your writing of the 2 November 1837, & it is evident from your writing that it
is proper for me to give my consent to you in writing in
friendship to dwell a while at this place & then leave
[Page 28 of 34]
when you obtain a vessel. As you have testified in the
said writing so will I bear in mind which you sojourn
here, & no one shall molest you if you observe the
laws & regulations while you dwell as strangers in the
Kingdom.
(Signed) Kaahumanu II
To S. Purgor
V. Obistondo
�P. Fuerto
Salutations to you L. Maigret & J.C. Murphy
on board the Ship Europa.
I received your writing to day & have seen what
you have made known, but you have not stated definitely to me in the writing what countrymen you are,
& what ^your employments & how long you wish to stay.
You have not informed me in your writing to what
country you wish to go by the first favorable opportunity.
On this account I request you to make a clear
statement of these points in writing. & if you or either
of you are priests of the religion of the Pope, (Roman
Catholics) or of any other office, make it known to me;
do not hide it from me for this only is the reason why
I hesitate to allow you to land. I do not desire propa[Page 29 of 34]
gators of that religion to dwell here. That is taboo(forbidden)
