Hon. John Ii
Waiawa 15 Dec. 1869
To the chairman of the Island Ministerial Conference
Greetings to all of you
Because of my problem with insufficient time to edit a copy or copies of the
historical fragments for our newspaper, copies that might meet the wishes of one from the
Supreme Court, according to what he had earlier commanded of me this past month. I am
supposed to send it to him next Friday. And as to things and
[Page 3 of 4]
folks of this district, their vigor has diminished in the services and Sunday school, but
those services have continued to this time.
Volunteers have decreased as well, but no commotion or arguing is heard. Also
the disagreement between myself and J. Kahauolono concerning the book is over, and we
get along fine.
There have not been many deaths, and there have been 19 healthy births, while 9
have died. Some are pregnant – perhaps 19.
There is not much drunkenness, only very little, and it is the same for awa
intoxication. It is not certain
[Page 4 of 4]
when these ways will end, and the same with pagan ways and such. But the Lord is the
one who knows all.
Also, if some item or items are considered for the days ahead, they can be seen in
our newspaper.
Additionally, I have continually pressed for the outstanding debts of the
subscribers, 52 dollars. This should be submitted before the stated deadline – it is 53
total, and I have one dollar in hand. If the subscribers are amenable, they will pay in full,
and thus the remainders shall be brought in.
With love, your speaker,
J. Ii
Notes:
1. J. ʻĪʻī – John Papa ‘Ī‘ī (1800-1870) had many roles in the Kingdom of Hawaii, and was
writing a column for the newspaper Ka Nupepa Kuokoa about Hawaiian history, parts
�of which were later published in English as “Fragments of Hawaiian History,” for
which ‘Ī‘ī is well known today.
2. J. Kahauolono – J. Kahauolono was the luna pa aupuni or pound master for the
Waiawa district of O‘ahu.

Dr. L.H. Gulick,
Regards be to you,
�Our little private meeting yesterday at Holo's store was about Bishop's money in
my hand. Just afterwards, sadness and great embarrassment came upon me, coming from
the two of you.
This is the first time that I have come upon this, having mistakenly climbed onto a
man-o-war jellyfish, like Kamalalawalu and the others.
And therefore I ask you and all your fellow church pastors of my beloved island
to please release me from duties in the services of the beloved Lord.
A copy from Bishop will be forthcoming.
I am your humble servant.
J. Ii
Notes:
1. L.H. Kulika - Dr. Luther Halsey Gulick, born in Honolulu in 1828, was the son of
Rev. Peter J. Gulick, who arrived with the third company of missionaries. He was
a physician and chief organizer of the Hawaiian Mission Children's Society.
2. paimalau - Paʻimalau is called a Portuguese man-o-war today, a small stinging
jellyfish type of sea creature that floats on the ocean surface.
3. Kamalalawalu - Kamalālāwalu, a Maui chief, mistook a paʻimalau as a canoe,
whereupon he and his group climbed up onto it, causing the paʻimalau to sink and
them to lose their fishing gear. ʻĪʻī's reference to that legendary event seems to be
acknowledging that he has made a grave error in judgment.
4. John Ii - John Papa ʻĪʻī began his service in the royal court when he served as an
attendant to Kalanikualiholiho, Kamehameha II. Īʻī later became a trusted advisor
and chief in the court of Kauikeaouli, Kamehameha III and continued to serve the
sovereigns of Hawaiʻi until his death in 1870.

Love to you, Mr. Evarts the director of Missionaries, my first
brother in Christ Jesus. This is my thought for you, and my joy. I now
abide by the voice of the Savior, Jesus Krist, who hath redeemed
me from my death. I was dwelling in the eye ball* of death, I was clothed and adornd in the glory and likeness of death. When I heard the voice of
Jesus, as it sounded in my ear, it was refreshing to my bosom, saying thus, "Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden and
I will give you rest." Again the voice of him said, "Whomever is athirst let him come and drink of the water of life" Therefore I arose
and came, and prostrated myself beneath the shade of his feet, with my great
trembling. Therefore do I bear his yoke, with this thought concerning myself
that I am not able to put forth strength adequate to cary his yoke, but if him is
the ability, [to bear it] his aid to me by night and by day; there am I
continually abiding by his righteousness [excellence or glory] and his love to me. There
do I set my love and desire and the thoughts of my heart, and
there on Jesus do I leave my soul; there shall my mouth and my tongue give
praise continually during the life which I now live till entering in to his
everlasting glory. Such is their thought of mine, for you.
This is another thought of mine for you. I praise [or admire]
the kindship of our Lord Jesus Christ in aiding us by several new teacher ^for us. They have arrived. We have seen their eyes and their cheeks, we have met with them
in the
presence of God, and in our own presence also+, with praise to our common Lord
for his preserving them on the ocean till they arrived here at Hawaii.
Now we wait, while they study the native language of Hawaii, when that is clear
to them, then they will sow in the fields the good seen of eternal salvation.
+probably their formal presentation to the chiefs is here meant, as in the preceding ^phrase a
place or time of worship ^is intended.
The word onohi may mean the ball, or the pupil of the eye, and it means also the central or upper
part
of a flame of fire, the figure is not very clear in the present case, which is to me new. Trans.

The will my former brethren with these more recent, and my brethren and
sisters of my own country, will all of us together take up the desire of Christ,
[or what Christ wills or wishes] on this cluster of Islands, with prayer to him
for his aid ^that the rough places may by him be made plain, by his power
�thought all these lands from Hawaii to Kauai.
I will him ^and he whom I have brought up have ^indeed carried the word of our Lord
through from Hawaii to Kauai; with the love of the heart toward, God was our
journeying to proclaim to the people His love, and his word and his law, &
to tell the people to observe them.
Thus was our proclaiming, not according to our own will,
but according to the will of God, did we undertake it.
Such is this thought of mine for you.
This is one more thought of mine for y to make known to you
Make known my love to the brethren in Christ, and to my beloved sisters
in Christ Jesus. This is my salutation to you all, pray ye
all to God for ^all the lands of dark hearts, and for all the residue [unconverted] of all lands of enlightened hearts, and for us also; and thus will we
with our kindness here all pray to God for the lands of dark hearts, and
for the residue [unconverted] of the lands of enlightened hearts, and for you also
thus shall we & you unitary call upon our common Lord, that the nations may in peace follow him, that his kingdom may be smooth &
uninterrupted even to the ends of the earth, that all men may turn
to him without dissent, and praise his everlasting name. That is
my sentiment of love to you all.
Great love to thee; our bodies will not meet in this world, but
our thoughts do meet in this world, and hereafter, will our souls meet
in the glory of ^the kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ the Savior and mine. This ends my
communication to you.

[A note to Evarts from Bingham]
Note - Nov. 24, 1831
To Jer. Evarts, Esq.
I have in the above endeavor to give you a count
translation of a letter which, Kaahumanu, in consequence of my advice to her to
write you, sometime since sent to me to translate and forward to you if I
approved it. It appears to be in the hand writing of Laanui, and
perhaps he assisted her in the composition.- Some of the phrases are difficult to extract in good English. The last paragraph is all in the dual number the pronoun after repeated signifying mens & time.- Her reference to her
inability to travel on, with vigor & courage with christ's yoke resting on her
shoulder, as a strong man is the pride and vigor of his strength takes
up ^& carries the ordinary yoke with which the mothers usually carry their burdens, is very
striking
in her mouth and in her her language, as it distinctly refers to ^the great work which
she suffers herself as a ruler to be required to perform for Christ, rather
^than the trials and sacrifices which she extols to meet. Her^some of her own weaknessess & her
confidence
�that Christ will himself strengthen her to bear his yoke continually is
and with her intended ^continual praise to his act his glory & his love, is a beautiful comment on the nature of that her gre trembling protestations beneath the shadow
of the feet of Jesus when she heard by the gospel his gracious invitation.
The last two or three years of her life have brought with them trials,
which will prepare her will for sympathy with David.- She bears reproach
and opposition with a good degree of moderations, and suffers
abuse at unworthy hands, with what is thought by some singular forbearance.- But let her works praise herShe highly prizes your letters to her - & they appear to be useful
and I hope may be repeated.
Yours, truly and affectionately.

[Page 1 of 7]
�Oahu September 11, 1831
Regards to you, Mr. Evarts, missionary superintendent and my first brother in Christ Jesus,
Here is my message to you along with my joy. Here I live by the voice of salvation of
Jesus Christ who resurrected me from death. I was dwelling in the core of death. I was adorned
and bedecked by the glory of death and its symbols. When I heard the voice of Jesus sounding in
my ears, it was a chill in my heart, speaking as follows, [“]Come unto to me all of you who are
weary and heavy-laden and I shall give you rest.[”] And his voice then said again, [“]He who
thirsts, let him come and drink the waters of salvation.[”] So, I rose to come and lie under the
shelter of his feet, with great trepidation.
[Page 2 of letter, on the left side of page 2 of 7 of PDF]
Here I am bearing his yoke, thinking to myself that I am unable to move his yoke, he being the
one who enables me with his assistance night and day; there I forever dwell in his glory and his
love for me. There is my desire and my affection, with the intention of my heart and my spirit to
submit to Jesus. There my mouth and my tongue shall forever give thanks for the life I live until
I join in his everlasting glory. That is my humble message to you.
Here is this other message of mine to you. I am grateful for the grace of our Lord Jesus
Christ for his assistance in sending new teachers for us. They have arrived and we have beheld
their eyes and faces. We met in the presence of our Lord and in our own presence with gratitude
to our Lord for protecting them on the ocean until they arrived here in Hawaii. We abide here,
teaching the
[Page 3 of letter, on the right side of page 2 of 7 of PDF]
native language of Hawaii so they will understand. Then, we sow the gardens with fruitful seeds
for eternal salvation. At that point, my elder brethren, them [the teachers] and my native brothers
and sisters together will take up the will of our Lord in this archipelago, praying to him to assist
so that the bumpy places be smoothed by him through his intentions for these islands from
Hawaii to Kauai. But my adopted child and I carried the word of our Lord from Hawaii to Kauai
with love in our hearts for God, traveling to speak of his love, his word, and his laws and to tell
people that they should abide by them. That is what we, my adopted child and I, speak of. It is
not according to our will, but according to the will of the Lord that we take this up. That is my
humble message to you. Here is another remaining message that I say to you. Do express my
regard to the brethren in Christ and my
[Page 3 of 7]
beloved sisters in Christ Jesus. Here are my regards to you all. Do pray often to God for all the
lands of the unenlightened, for all those remaining in enlightened lands, and for us as well and
we shall do the same with the brethren here. Pray often to God for the unenlightened lands, and
for the remainder of those in enlightened lands, and for you all as well. Thus we beseech our
Lord so all peoples cooperate through him that his kingdom be unified to the bounds of the earth,
�and so all people unite behind him to praise his everlasting name. That is my message of
affection to you all. Deep regards to you. Though we may not meet in person in this world, it is
our hope that if we do meet in this world, our souls will also meet in the glory of the kingdom of
our Lord of salvation, Jesus Christ. That is the end of the message to you.
