There are many students here: many men, women and children. Here is another message to you. Tell me about the people at the beginning of Genesis, in section five or section four. Write that text to me so that I know it well. Also the tenth section, tell me about those two sections. You must tell Mr. H. Bingham to tell me of the laws that you still have. [Page 2 of 2] And when you know, tell me the laws that remain with you so that my statements to the unenlightened ones are correct. �Do give me some hymnals, five hymnals for me.

[Letter Cover] Copy of the letter written by Karaimoku announcing the death of the King & Queen & Signed by Kauikeaouli, Kaahumanu & Karaimoku Translation: [Page 1 of 2] Honolulu March 10th 1825. We send affection to all of you, Nahienaena and your people, Hoapili and yours, Mrs. Hoapili and her people, Wahinepio and her circle, and the foreign Missionaries and company, and to everyone, affection to all of you, and indeed to us all. Kaahumanu informs all of you that our chiefs have died, both chiefs. Liholiho and Kamamalu are dead. The passing of Kamamalu was first, and seven days later, Liholiho died after her; they both perished. In Britain is where they died. It was the month of Mahoemua, July 1824. They were in Britain two months and then died. The king said to Boki and company, and to King George, "Return me and Kamehamalu to Hawaii." They will likely be making landfall soon. Lament in your hearts for the death of our King, with two sacred ones for whom to grieve. Pray in repentance to God. Offer heartfelt prayer to Jehovah, that he may have mercy on all of us. Express love for �[Page 2 of 2] God, who cares for us, and you should all keep the word of God. We are vanquished, our chiefs have died, let us turn to the word of God, to that which will soothe our hearts, and let this whole archipelago turn to almighty God of heaven, and let us all pray to him that we may be saved. You folks should handle the people so the outcome is good. The two of us will send for all of you to come. May Jesus Christ save you all. The missionaries send salutations to all of you. Sincere regards for all of you. [Letter Cover] Copy of the letter written by Kalaimoku announcing the death of the King & Queen & Signed by Kauikeaouli, Kaahumanu & Kalaimoku Notes: 1.

We all want the word of God and all [Page 2 of 3] the chiefs desire the good word of God. We have seen the righteous word at this time. We are repenting for our past faults. Those previous faults are over, along with our former king. Those wrongs are over, along with that king of ours. That previous, ancient heart is ended, along with that former king of ours. This is a new king the two of us serve, with a new heart that God has given to us all. Our king died in England. We regard the good word of our great God. I shall honor God for my blessings. My existence is due to God. I yearn for God. [Page 3 of 3] Faults of the past are what we now repent, that you all may hear. I give my regards to you, Evarts.

Translation: [Page 1 of 2] (Copy of Kalaimoku’s letter to Mr. B.) Honolulu, Oahu October 28, 1826 Greetings to you, Mr. Bingham, Here is my message to all of you, our missionary teachers. I am telling you that I do not see your wrongdoing. If I should see you to be wrong, I would tell you all. No, you should all just be good. Give us literacy and we will teach it; and give us the word of God, and we will heed it. Our women are restricted, for we have learned the word of God. Then foreigners come, doing damage to our land, foreigners of America and Britain. Do not be angry, for it is we who are to blame for you being faulted, and not you foreigners. Here is my message according to the words of Jehovah. I have given my heart to God and my body and my spirit. I have devoted myself to the church for Jesus Christ. Have a look at my message, Mr. Bingham and company, and if you see it and wish to send my message to America, to our chief, that is up to you. [Page 2 of 2] Greetings to our chief in America.
