Lahaina March 8, 1842
Great regards to you, Baldwin

�I received your letter and I have received one forty-piece bundle of mamaki tapa. You
two were gracious in reporting to me your needs. I have no intention of selling these, because of
my great affection for you two.
From Kamehameha III

[Letter cover]
For Baldwin
Notes:
1. Baluina - Rev. Dwight Baldwin came to Hawaiʻi in 1831 with the fourth company of
missionaries and resided on Maui, stationed at Waineʻe Church.
2. iako - ʻIako is the number forty, particularly used in counting pieces of tapa.
3. mamaki - Māmaki is a mulberry-like tree (Pipturus albidus), the bark of which was used
to make tapa. The word mamaki in the letter likely refers to the tapa itself rather than the
tree.
4. Kamehameha III - 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.

Lahaina, August 23, 1836
Regards to you, our friends in America,
Here is our hope for the improvement of the lands here in Hawaii. Give us more
instructors like those you have in your land, America. These are the kinds of instructors we are
considering:
A carpenter
A tailor
A house builder
A cobbler
A wheelwright
A paper maker
A maker of lead printing type
Farmers who know the planting and care of cotton and silk, and sugar refining.
A maker of fabric, and
[Page 2 of 5]
carts suitable for heavy work.
A teacher for the chiefs in matters of land, comparable to what is done in enlightened lands.
And if there are other things appropriate for those endeavors, those as well.
If you agree and send these teachers, we will protect them when they arrive, provide the
necessities to make their professions viable and give our support to these needed endeavors.

Notes:
1. Na makamaka o Amerika - The friends in America is likely a reference to the American
Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions.
2. kumu hou - While missionaries with various skill sets had been in the islands since 1820,
this letter identifies the kingdom’s need for teachers in new fields of industry and
business.
3. Na 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. The letter is signed at
Lahaina, the national capital until 1845, by the king and most of the leading chiefs of the
time.
4. Nahienaena, Hoapilikane, Malia Hoapili, Gov. Adams Kuakini, Kaahumanu II,
Kekauluohi, Paki, Liliha, Aikanaka, Leleiohoku, Kekuanaoa, Kanaina, Kekauonohi,

I mention to you that if the hymnal happens to be complete, send it along with this.
