Translation of the foregoing (July 31, 1828.
The chief of the man of war said to me
the very strict tabu is not good. Do you
go slow, lest going quick you tumble down.
Do like other lands. In America, some women are tabu and some are not - In England
some women and tabu and some are not.
The women that regard God, they are tabu,
the women that regard not God are not tabuLet them alone, leave them to their own
thoughts; for you have taught them suffi
ciently, but they do not listen to what
you say. If the foreigners from the vessels
give them money or cloth, let them take it.
Let them not say we are tabu - neither
let the chiefs go after the prostitutes on
board the ships, that is a very shameful
thing with our chiefs."
This is all which I correctly heard, myself,
But there is one more thing. Kahuhu told me.
The chief of the man of war said thus to me, "May
"The men of my vessel are going up to pull

Twice it was told to me, and twice I told
Kaahumanu and Mr. Bingham.

No.207
The commander of the man-o-war said to me [“]There is no good in heavy restrictions.
You all should be careful or you will quickly be leveled. You should emulate some of the lands
in America [where] some women are under restriction and other women are not. In Britain, some
women are under restriction and other women are not. The women who observe God are
restricted, but the women who do not observe God are not under restriction; leave them to follow
their intentions.
For you have done much teaching, yet they do not heed what you say. If a foreigner from
a ship gives money and some cloth, they take them, and they do not say, [ʻ]We are forbidden[’].
It should definitely not be you, the chiefs, who retrieve prostitutes aboard the ship; it is an
embarrassment for our officers.[”] That ended what I heard directly of what he said. Another
thing I heard, Kahuhu told me, [“]The commander of the man-o-war said this to me as follows,
[ʻ]Men from my ship are heading out to tear down the house of Mr. Bingham, so the two of them
should know.[’ ”] That was told to me twice, and twice I told Kaʻahumanu and Bingham.
[Page 2 of 4]
Here is another thing I heard directly from his mouth, that Bingham is no good, with [his]
restrictions on horseback riding on the Sabbath and betting on horses on unrestricted days.

Notes:
1. ke alii o ka manua - “the commander of the man-o-war” in this letter threatens to tear
down the home of Rev. Hiram Bingham, likely for his influence on the chiefs’ views
regarding prostitution. The officer, who is unnamed, is probably Lieut. Percival of the
Dolphin. The attack seems to have directly followed this warning that Boki describes.
2. Kahuhu - James Kahuhu was associated with the chiefs and was one of the the first to
learn English and the written word.
3. Kaahumanu - The favorite wife of Kamehameha I, Kaʻahumanu was the first Kuhina
Nui, or co-regent, from 1819-1832. She was a convert and a strong advocate for the
Protestant religion.
4. Pinamu - Rev. Hiram Bingham arrived in Hawaiʻi with the first company of missionaries,
and became the first reverend of Kawaiahaʻo Church.
5. Boki - Boki, named Māʻuleʻule at birth, a high chief, had accompanied Kamehameha II
and Kamāmalu on their fatal visit to London and on his return, served as guardian to the
late king's younger brother and successor, Kauikeaouli Kamehameha III, and was
governor of Oʻahu.
6. Davida Malo - David Malo was an early Christian convert, a minister and an important
advisor to the chiefs. He signed as a witness to Boki's document.
7. Kanaina - Charles Kanaʻina was a man of chiefly lineage who married Miriam
Kekāuluohi. Their son, Willian Charles Lunalilo, was the sixth monarch of the Hawaiian
Kingdom. He signed as a witness to Boki's document.

Levi Chamberlain,
I have a message for you. There are four people who spoke to me about attending
the Poaha. I do not really know them. I am thinking that you might question them tonight,
to possibly clarify about them.
Here are their names: Kuhoomalana 1., Poohina 2., Ohilau 3. and Paniolo 4.
These people are from Waipio.
Regards to you,
John Ii

Honolulu
Translation:
[Page 1 of 4]
Greetings to the two of you, Mr. Amos S. Cooke and Mrs. Cooke,
I just heard last night from Konia that Makaeha is still sick these days, it was in
Kalaimoku’s letter to her. It came on the Kinau, which came into port yesterday.
I met with Mr. Gilman on Sunday morning of last week, I heard from him that Mrs.
Cooke is sick again. I supposed it was a relapse, like I saw last year. Mine was a human's
mistaken assumption and it turns out to be something quite different. Regarding her, I think she
is a greatly beloved child, for
[Page 2 of 4]
little-loved children are seldom struck. This Mr. Gilman has now gone back. I met with him for
three hours where I live and because he was a visitor I directed him to sleep here because he was
apart from the others, but it was like a fish bone lodged in my throat, because of what you and
Sarai told me, and that was just how it was in my mind. And because the Consul came to get him
as evening fell to go to his house, we then parted. I directed him to come back here to sleep if he
needed to, he did not come back. And before he went he ordered me to give him something
[Page 3 of 4]

�for him to do there, but I did not give him anything to do because I was choking as though it was
a bone.
I exist here only in body, as my thoughts and deeds go to you folks there every day, to the
children and the teachers and to the caretaker of the children because of her working alone in her
pursuits. And because there are so few problems there that have been reported to me, just Mrs.
Cooke by herself, my thoughts are light. However, it is indeed very painful when one member in
the work that we are doing experiences misfortune. Truly, the body is dysfunctional when one of
its limbs is injured. And what of Lord G. Paulet, he probably being the one who cast me out so
that we live apart now. Is he long gone? Did he anchor again?
Regards to all of you,
From Ioane Ii

John Ii
Lahaina July, 1843
Recd 5th
To Mr Amos S Kuke.
Honolulu
Notes:
1. Mr Amos S. Kuke ma - Mr. and Mrs. Amos Starr Cooke were missionaries with the eighth
company who went on to lead the Chiefs’ Children’s School, their location at the time of
this letter.
2. Konia - Laura Kanaholo Kōnia and her husband Abner Pākī were the parents of Bernice
Pauahi Bishop and the hānai (adoptive) parents of Lydia Kamakaʻeha, who later ruled the
Hawaiian Kingdom as Queen Liliʻuokalani. Kōnia and Pākī both served as members of
the House of Nobles at the time of this letter.
3. Makaeha - This is a shortened version of Kamakaʻeha, one of the names of Liliʻuokalani.
She was under the care of Kōnia and Pākī at the time of this letter, thus the mention of
her health.
4. Kalaimoku - This refers to William Pitt Leleiōhoku, son of Kalanimoku and a member of
the house of nobles.
5. Kinau - The Kīnaʻu was a ship that moved cargo and passengers between the islands.
6. Mr Galuman - Gorham D. Gilman was a businessman in Honolulu and was present at the
time of the Paulet affair. He moved to Boston, Massachusetts in the 1860s where he was
named the Hawaiian Consul General in the mid-1890s.
7. Sarai - Sarai Hiwauli was the first wife of John Papa ʻĪʻī and helped Mr. and Mrs. Cooke
care for the royal students at the Chiefs’ Children’s School.

�8. ke Kanikele - Literally “the Consul,” this likely refers to Alexander Simpson, who was
appointed by Richard Charlton to replace him as British Consul to the Kingdom of
Hawaiʻi, an appointment rejected by Kamehameha III.
9. Haku G. Paulet - Lord George Paulet was the British Naval Captain of the HMS
Carysfort who belligerently occupied the Hawaiian Kingdom from February to July of
1843.

John Ii April 27, 1837
Greetings to you, beloved brother Andrews,
I have a clarifying message to you, as follows. This morning I read my Kumu Kahiki, and
Kinau saw and asked, “What is that paper you have?” I told her that it is a Kumu Kahiki, a
foreign-language manual. She asked for it and I gave it to her. She looked at it until she saw what

�it was and then said, “Who did you get this from?” I said it is from Andrews. She read the text
and asked again, “Is this all you have?” I replied to her that it was not, that I have two texts. That
is the first one and there is a sequel, which is a grammar text.
She said, “Show it to me!” I fetched it and brought it, and she looked at the
[Page 2 of 4]
text, and saw the English words and the Hawaiian words in comparison, whereupon she turned
and said to me, “Go up to Lahainaluna for a copy for me.” I said to her, ["]I am not sure, but I
will go up there; do not consider my words to you rude, for I heard that this text is only for that
place. If you would like, this copy can be for both of us.["]
Therefore, I am informing you of this conversation of ours about her wishes, so that you
know. And if it is proper in your opinion to provide to her a text like this one, it is up to you.
Because, I did not tell her [“]I am writing now to get a copy for you,[”]
[Page 3 of 4]
no, this is only an explanatory letter to you, brother, Andrews.
Regards to you both,
From me, John Ii

[Letter Cover]
From Andrews
Lahainaluna
April 27, 1837.
Notes:
1. Anaderu - Rev. Lorrin Andrews was a member of the third company of missionaries. He
established Lahainaluna Seminary and served there as a principal and teacher.
2. Kumu Kahiki - The full title of this English language manual for Hawaiian speakers is Ke
Kumu Kahiki: oia ka mea e ao ai i na hua a me ka hookui, a me ka heluhelu ana i ka
olelo Beritania. Authored by Rev. Lorrin Andrews, it was published at Lahainaluna in
1837.
3. Kinau - Elizabeth Kīna‘u was a high-ranking daughter of Kamehameha and an early
convert to Christianity. She became known as Kaʻahumanu II when she became Kuhina
Nui, regent of the Hawaiian Islands in 1832. She was Kuhina Nui at the time of this letter
and until her death in 1839.
4. aloha olua - Although the letter begins by addressing only Rev. Lorrin Andrews, it closes
with a salutation to two people, likely Rev. Andrews and his wife, Mary Ann Wilson
Andrews.

�5. John Ii - John Papa ʻĪʻī began his service in the royal court as a childhood attendant to
Kalanikualiholiho, who became Kamehameha II. He continued to serve the sovereigns of
Hawaiʻi until his death in 1870.

Greetings to you, Mr. Chamberlain,
I arrived at your house this morning. Kaahumanu sent me to you, and when I arrived you
were not there.
Here is what she told me to present to you in writing. Give her raw flour - perhaps a
whole barrel or a portion thereof, or perhaps a single bucket, whichever of those you think proper
to give. If you are to give her one of those things, you should perhaps notify her in writing of the
appropriate payments in your opinion, for her to help out with whatever is given to her.
That is what I am saying, but it is up to you.
From me, John Ii

He was the superintendent of secular affairs for the mission and served as a missionary
teacher.

Kīnaʻu during her tenure as Kuhina Nui, or regent, from 1832-1839. Kīna‘u was a highranking daughter of Kamehameha, an early convert to Christianity and the wife of Mataio
Kekūanāoʻa.
3. Ioane Ii - John Papa ʻĪʻī began his service in the royal court as a childhood attendant to
Kalanikualiholiho, who later became Kamehameha II. He continued to serve the
