Listen, Mr. Chamberlain,
�I am requesting from you shoes for my boy, David. He is lacking any shoes. If you would
furnish them, let me know the amount of money you would like.
Charles Kanaina
Notes:
1. Mi Kamalani - Mr. Levi Chamberlain was a member of the second company of
missionaries, superintendent of secular affairs for the mission and served as a
missionary teacher.
2. David - In his 1874 book "The Friend, Or, Advocate of Truth," M.T.C. Gould
references David as a first son of Kanaʻina and Kekāuluohi who died young, and
this could be a reference to him. It could also possibly refer to David Kalākaua,
later the seventh sovereign of the kingdom, who was a student at the Chiefs’
Children’s School in Honolulu and not directly related to Charles Kanaʻina.
3. Charles Kanaina - Charles Kanaʻina was a man of chiefly lineage who married
Miriam Kekāuluohi. Their son, William Charles Lunalilo, was the sixth monarch
of the Hawaiian Kingdom.

Juliette Montague Cooke, worked with him to establish and operate the school.
2. Kauka- Dr. Gerrit Parmele Judd, known as Kauka, was a member of the 3rd company
of missionaries, arriving in Hawaiʻi in 1828. A medical doctor by training, he became

positions and resigning from the mission in 1842 to become a translator and recorder
for the Hawaiian government.

Kamehameha III, he ruled the Hawaiian Kingdom from 1825 to 1854.
4. Hoapili - Hoapilikāne, also known as Ulumeheihei, was a chief in the royal court of
Kamehameha I. Because of his close kinship with Kamehameha, Ulumeheihei was
dubbed Hoapili, or close friend, as a title of endearment.

the Kuhina Nui or regent of the Hawaiian Kingdom in 1839, taking on the name

Greetings to you, Kaahumanu 2,
Here is my message to you, I shall present my thoughts about liquor. My drinking of
liquor has not ended, but I do not drink to drunkenness. It is drinking, but only some drinking for
pleasure. The letter you sent me, I have recently seen; I probably should not agree, for I am still
drinking. If I had completely quit, then perhaps it would be proper. That's my message to you.
Our teachers have also written their thoughts and their concerns are about liquor as well. I told
them my opinion, that if I did not drink at all, if that were the case, then I would have agreed
with that notion. Those are my thoughts to you, and my message is finished.
Great regards to you,

Notes:
1. Kaahumanu 2 - Elizabeth Kīna‘u was a high-ranking daughter of Kamehameha and an
early convert to Christianity. She became known as Kaʻahumanu II when she assumed
the role of Kuhina Nui of the Hawaiian Islands from 1832-1839.
2. King Kauikeaouli - Kauikeaouli, also known as Kamehameha III, was the second royal
son of Kamehameha Paiʻea. Kauikeaouli ruled the Hawaiian Kingdom from 1825 to
1854. Signing the letter as "King Kauikeaouli" may have intended to impress upon
Kīnaʻu his authority to make his own decisions in the matter.

Honolulu, June 14, 1836
Greetings to you, the King, Kauikeaouli.
Greetings as well to all the chiefs here in Hawaii.
Here is our message to you all. Regarding the anonymous letter you showed to us
that was printed in America, reporting some of the great wrongs here in Hawaii, the
majority being here on Oahu, we do not know who wrote it. None of us, your teachers
living here, wrote that letter.
We do not appreciate that letter because not all of the statements were correct, and
other seemingly correct statements should not just be spread around America and all
other lands. The person who printed and distributed it bears some of the fault.
We have great regard for you, the King. We have great regard for the chiefs and
the people.
[Page 6 of 8]
We are genuinely saddened by the truth of some parts and the falseness of some
parts of that letter as well as the impropriety of it being distributed in foreign lands.
Here is another thought. It is a sad thought indeed. The temptation that has led
Hawaii's king astray, and the obstruction that has always hindered great virtue in these
islands, which causes tumult in the kingdom, and which has brought about the death of
those who came into contact with it, has not been completely banished. That is something
that saddens us all.
[Page 7 of 8]
Here is what is needed: let us all seek that which will make the kingdom peaceful, make
the king esteemed, will benefit the people, and by which they will gain God's approval.
We wish to quickly inform our beloved missionary officer as follows: that the
king has properly married a wife, liquor is forbidden here in Hawaii, the schools for
reading and writing have been well supported by the chiefs, and that the kingdom is
peaceful through the word of Jehovah.
That is our message.
May God save the king
May you all be saved through Jesus,
through our Lord by whom we have eternal life.
From us, your loving missionary teachers.

We have clearly heard that Mr. Lyons did not write that letter.
Letter to the King
on the anonymous letter
Copy 1836
Notes:
1. ka oukou mau kumu misionari aloha - "Your loving missionary teachers" are the
24 missionaries whose names are listed on the original copy of the letter. They
were all of the resident missionaries from the first seven companies who were
stationed throughout the islands at the time of this letter, with the exception of
Lorenzo Lyons. The names all appear in the handwriting of a single individual,
likely Hiram Bingham (H.B.) who signed the addendum and would have
coordinated the letter.
2. H.B. - Rev. Hiram Bingham, who signed the addendum with his initials and may
have coordinated the writing of the letter, was in the first company of missionaries
who arrived in Hawaiʻi in 1820.
3. Kauikeaouli - Kauikeaouli was the second son of Kamehameha I and Keōpūolani
and ascended the throne in 1825 as Kamehameha III. He was the longest ruling of
the Hawaiian monarchs, and was king at the time of this letter.
4. ka palapala inoa ole - "the anonymous letter" refers to a letter supposedly
published in one or more American newspapers, and possibly newspapers in other
places, that reported the "hewa," or wrongs, of Hawaiʻi.
5. Mika Laiana - Rev. Lorenzo Lyons was a missionary with the fifth company. He
spent his tenure on Hawaiʻi Island where he headed the Waimea congregation, the
largest mission station in Hawaiʻi. A note in the original letter says that he wrote
from Waimea to say that he did not write the anonymous letter.

Here is my message to you, the missionaries of the Hawaiian Islands. I am directly telling you
my thoughts, having just seen your request to ban liquor. Thus, I am informing you of my
position. Do not assume that I do not drink. I do drink, but not to excess, just personal drinking.
So, then, what would be the right thing? If I did not drink at all, then the proper thing would be
apparent. This is my thought to you folks, I do, however, appreciate your intention. This opinion
of mine may end, and I would quit, at which point I could put a stop to those activities. My
message is done.
Affection to you all, the teachers

Maui, Lower Lahaina,
May 21, 1837.
Here is my message to you, Kinau. Seize those Frenchmen and put them onto the
ship on which they sailed here. If the ship's officer tossed those Frenchman out here,
those two are to pay me the same sum I paid out to Uilama, because the two of them just
brought in these foreigners that were denied entry into my kingdom, and that is final.
Additionally, you should ask Kelemeka about our conversation with the Commander of
the French Warship. in our
[Page 2 of 4]
discussion with him He said to me, ["]Why is French religion not welcome?["] I said to
him, ["]I do not want it operate here because the people of my kingdom might protest.["]
He said ["]Maybe it should be here for outsiders, like those in our profession.["] I said to
him, ["]It is not right; if the citizens of my kingdom were educated, then it might be
�appropriate.["] He agreed, saying ["]You are right, and you are the one who knows the
nature of your kingdom.["] It was during our conversation that he said
[Page 3 of 4]
I should take care of his people from France who arrive here. And that was it. You should
ask him [Kelemeka] so that you understand, because he can tell you everything that we
twospoke of so that you hear it for yourself. That is all.
Affection to you,
By King
Kauikeaouli

[Archivist's note]
Copy of the
Kings letter
to Kinau
dated Lahaina
May [2]1 1837
Notes:
1. Kinau - Kīnaʻu, or Kaʻahumanu II, was a high-ranking daughter of Kamehameha.
She became Kuhina Nui, regent of the Hawaiian Islands, from 1832-1839. As
regent of the Hawaiian Kingdom at the time of this letter, she and the king were
dealing with this incident as it unfolded in Honolulu.
2. ua mau Palani la - This translates to "those Frenchmen," referring to French
Catholic priests who were working to establish a Catholic following in Hawaiʻi.
3. Uilama - This reference is unclear, but may be Capt. William Winship, one of two
men who transported the Frenchmen.
4. Kelemeka - An unclear reference, but this person accompanied Kauikeaouli to the
French Warship to converse with the Commander about Catholicism in Hawaiʻi.
5. King Kauikeaouli - Kauikeaouli was the second royal son of Kamehameha I and
Keōpūolani. As Kamehameha III, he ruled the Hawaiian Kingdom from 1825 to
1854.
