Translation:
[Page 1 of 4]
Hawaii January 8, 1831
Heed this, all of you, O priests from France,
These are our thoughts regarding your expulsion. Leave at once from this land.
You shall not stay here in the Hawaiian archipelago because your doctrine opposes and is
different from that which we observe. And because you have clearly presented your
ministry to the people here in Hawaii, some of our people have converted through you.

�We are encouraging people with the doctrine that we maintain; the doctrine we clearly
understand to be proper is the doctrine we most desire. When you arrived here, we did
not invite you to stay, you just took up residence and for that we are expelling you.
[Page 2 of 4]
We have seen ample evidence of your impropriety. For that we are expelling you. Be
gone, all of you.
We are giving you three months for you to prepare for your departure. If you are
not gone within three months then your assets shall be seized by us and you shall go
stripped of everything. If you stay a fourth month, and we note your presence, you will be
imprisoned, and we will again treat you in the same manner as rulers of all lands when
their rule is not respected. Thus will be our dealings with you always.

Notes:
1. Detember - Lit. December, may have been the original date of this letter.
December, crossed out was replaced with "Jan. 8," but there is no alteration of the
year, 1831. It is possible that this was written at the end of 1831 and not sent until
January 1832.
2. ka poe kahuna mai Palani mai - "the priests from France" refers to the Catholic
priests who settled and established a ministry in the islands. They did not ask
permission of the government and were expelled in 1831. This is the first official
expulsion of the Catholics.

�3. Kauikeaouli - Kamehameha III was the second sacred son of Kamehameha I and
Keōpūolani. He took the throne in 1825 upon the death of his older brother,
Kalanikualiholiho, and ruled until 1854.
4. Kaahumanu - Kaʻahumanu was Kuhina Nui, or regent, of the Hawaiian Kingdom
until her death in 1832. She was a convert to and a strong advocate for the
Protestant religion.
5. Kaikioewa - Kaikioʻewa was the governor of Kauaʻi at the time of this letter.
6. Hoapili - Hoapilikāne, also known as Ulumeheihei, was a chief in the royal court
of Kamehameha I, and ruled as the governor of Maui after the conqueror's death.
Because of his close kinship with Kamehameha, Ulumeheihei was dubbed
Hoapili, or close friend, as a title of endearment.
7. Naihe - Nāihe was a counselor to the chiefs in the Hawaiian Kingdom and an
early convert to Christianity.
8. Kuakini - John Adams Kiʻipalaokū Kuakini was an adviser of Kamehameha I and
brother of Kamehameha's favorite wife, Kaʻahumanu. He was governor of Oʻahu
at the time of this letter, and in his later years moved to Hawaiʻi Island.

Oahu November 8, 1823
Greetings to you, Mr. Everts,
Here is my word to you. I appreciate you for your generosity towards us in sending
teachers of the word of Jesus Christ, being what will enlighten us here. They are very good at
educating us in the virtuous ways that allow us to reach heaven, the finest place. Not all people
here on Oahu are learning the good word of salvation. Eventually the right time may come when
all people of these unenlightened lands will learn the word of Jesus Christ.
Great regards to you,

teacher.
2. Makaio Kekuanaoa - Mataio Kekūanāoʻa, of chiefly descent, was married to
Iosepeta Kīnaʻu at the time of this letter and they were both important members of
the royal court. He would become the Royal Governor of the island of Oʻahu
from 1834-1868 and served as a member of the House of Nobles and Privy
Council, and went on to become the 6th Kuhina Nui of the Hawaiian Islands.
3. Ronohiwa &amp; Kauhi - The letter does not clarify which of these two names is a
teacher and which is a student. These are the individuals Kekūanāoʻa supported to
join the Poʻahā.

From Kekuanaoa
November 18, 1830
To Levi Chamberlain
Notes:
1. Liwi/Liwai Kamalani - Mr. Levi Chamberlain was a member of the second
company of missionaries, superintendent of secular affairs for the mission and a
missionary teacher.
2. poaha - Po‘ahā, lit. Thursday, is a reference to the Bible study meetings, held on
Thursdays, that prepared one for baptism and membership in the church
congregation.
3. Paukane - Pau kāne, unnumbered, indicates the close of the kāne, the males, the
following three entries being female. That would explain Kekūanāoʻa's mistaken
(and corrected) counting, where he crossed out "kumamakahi," meaning eleven. It
seems he accidently added Paukane as a name in his initial tally.
4. akahiwahi 1 - This is likely a truncated form of ʻakahi wahine, or "first female."
5. Kekuanaoa - Mataio Kekūanāoʻa, of chiefly descent, was first married to Kalani
Pauahi and then to Elizabeth Kīnaʻu. He was a member of the royal court and held
important positions in the Hawaiian government throughout his life.
