eventually established an office on Beretania Street in Honolulu and served as the
government’s medical officer for a time.

Greetings to you, Mr. Cooke,
Send regards to all our children.
I am informing you and them as well that I am unable to return because of the intensity of
my pain. I have one ailment, a running sore. Do not allow any of our children to come because
this is a severe ailment. I have tried to walk and I am unable, and tried to lift and cannot. I abide
to be patient until I am better, at which point I will return.

Late Sunday Evening
Jan. 22th 1843
Greetings to you, Cooke and all the children of ours. Do extend loving regards to V.
Kamamalu. I received your letter with fond thoughts of you two and the children of ours. And I
agree with your words, I am praying to God amid this sadness and trouble when I find a moment
of respite, I pray cordially to God, letting my thoughts rely upon him, the one who is blesses us.
And when the pain is great, I then pray to God amid the sadness and distress. I always praise
God, who helps those who always place their trust in him, and I ask that we all strive together
through continual prayer to God, on my own behalf, on behalf of all the children of ours and for
the King and Prime Minister and for all the Chiefs and people, that we may all be blessed on the
day that our Lord is beheld.
[Page 2 of 3]
I felt great compassion for Moses and Dr. Judd on the day they went back, for there was
much rain and bad condition of the roads, and when they returned, they had to endure the storm
and the muddy roads.
Regards to you, Mrs. Cooke, Sarai and all the children of ours. May we all be blessed by
the love of our Lord Jesus Christ.
