[Written vertically on the right of the page] Kalama to patrons Aug 25, 1838 Recd. Feb, 22, 1839 �[Page 21 of 21] [Archivist note in a different hand] 8 - 35 Aug. 25, 1838 Translation: [Page 1 of 21] Lahainaluna, Maui August 25, 1838 A clarification to you all, those who have sent us here; the missionaries, chiefs, and everyone who enrolled us in this school. Greetings to all of you, teachers, chiefs, and all the people who have sent us to live here in this place to seek education. You have sent us to come and live here and pursue education, and all things our bodies and spirits need, as well as the things that will save the souls of all the people of Hawaii, if our work is done right. We have pondered these past few days and we wish to write and publish our message of clarification, to all of our parents, regarding their concerns for us or lack thereof. Because of this, we decided to pen [Page 2 of 21] our thoughts and publish them in the Kumu Hawaii which will take the message and show it about in all the places our parents live. It is unknown, however, if the publication of this message will happen. But it is not up to them alone, but up to you all as well, those who sent us here. If you consider this and support it, it will be possible, for you all are thoughtful people. Some of you have, indeed helped us, but only a rare few. Do not abandon us here, leaving the school to help and supply things a student needs. It is not necessary for you to aid us with great things, like clothing and other items. Rather, you can help us with [Page 3 of 21] some of the supplies needed in student life here. Here is the message for all of you. Help us with: writing tablets, sealing wax, quills, quillsharpeners, pencil erasers, and some other things specific to what we are learning here. Yardsticks, compasses, and all the things we need. This is your obligation, to help us a bit with these things, because our parents are poor and there is not an ample supply of these items. This is the reason for our humble request to you all, but it is up to you all whether or not to fulfill it. You all might be surprised and ask us, [“]Why are [Page 4 of 21] our students asking this? Is it because the college lacks what the students need?[”] You all might say, [“]We prepared things for you, and the teachers of that school should take care of things, so why are you asking us?[”] �Sure, it is right for you to think this way, those of you, Hawaiians and foreigners who sent us here, but we will explain to you all the allotment of these supplies that are given to us throughout the year. Writing tablets and quills are given out three times a year, one allotment in February and the others in June and September. For the first class, one ream per child in each allotment. In [Page 5 of 21] one ream there are twelve (12) sheets. That is 12 papers multiplied (X) by three (3) allotments, which is equal (=) to thirty-six (36) papers for a single child for one year. As follows: 3x12=36 papers for that one child in one year. That is the paper ration for a single child for one year in the first class. Four quills for them in one allotment, and the three allotments taken together are twelve quills for a single child in the first class for one year. This is how it is done: 4x3=12 quills for one [Page 6 of 21] year for a single child in the first class. There are two allotments for pencils in one year for all students. One pencil per allotment, in two allotments, two pencils. Those are the pencils for a single person from the first to the last, from the biggest to the smallest, in an entire year. There are six allotments for slate pens in one year. Two months for a single slate pen as follows: 1x6=6 slate pens for a single person. One (1) multiplied (X) by six (6) equals (=) six (6) pens for a single child for the whole year, from Aumai to Samuel. For the second class, there are eight (8) papers in a single allotment, [Page 7 of 21] the three (3) allotments taken together for one year, this makes twenty-four (24) papers for a single person in the second class. As follows: 8x3=24, those are all the papers for a single person in the second class. This is how it is calculated: eight (8) multiplied (X) by three equals (=) twenty-four (24) papers for each person. Contained there is twenty-four (24) in two (2) reams, twelve (12) papers in one ream, as follows: 12÷24=2 reams of paper for a single child in the second class for the entire year. Read again so that it is clear. Twelve (12) papers divided (÷) into twenty-four (24) papers, equals (=) two (2) full reams of paper for a single student in the second class in a single year. [Page 8 of 21] That is how it is for the slate pens in this class, like the allotment for the first class, and the same with pencils and some other things, but there are less quills. And as for the third class and fourth class, their paper is less than that of the first class and second class. The quills, pencils, slate pens, and perhaps quills are just the same from the first to the last class. Those are our allotments for one year. For every individual in the first class, three (3) reams of paper, twelve (12) quills, six (6) slate pens, two (2) pencils, no sealing wax, no quill sharpener, no scissors, no yardstick, or other things; only the items above are what have been provided for the first class. �Here are the names of the eight people [Page 9 of 21] in the first class. First class (1) Kamakau --- Paku Kunui -------- Kaiana *Kalama ---- Holopololei Nohoua --- Kekipi Those are the students in the first class. Shown below are the names of all those in each class so that you all know the people who were allotted more and the extent of their work, so that it be known who had a large or small allotment. Like the increase of his need, thus it has been provided to him. For the second class, twenty-four (24) tablets, that being two (2) reams of paper, nine (9) quills, six (6) slate pens, two (2) pencils. That is the amount for each child in the second class through year's end. Here are the students in the second class, Second Class (2) Opunui -----Kapeau Kailianu ---- Ladana Kaumaka ---- Naue Kauwahi -- Nahalelau [Page 10 of 21] Kahulanui ---- Nuuanu Kalili ----- Paalua Kanahunahupu -- Davida Kapahukani Total 15. Provided for the third (3) class are four (4) tablets, two (2) quills, one pencil, one slate pen as the individual allotment until year's end. That is the single allottment for each individual. Tablets and quills are given three times. Slate pens are given six times, and two times for the pencils through the end of the year. 12 tablets, six (6) quills, six (6) slate pens, two (2) pencils, that is the amount each child in the third class shall receive each year. No knife, no sealing wax, no scissors, or other such things necessary for learning. [Page 11 of 21] Here is the amount of students in the third class (3) Third Class Aumai ---- Kamakea Aka -Kamali Kaehu Keaka Kaiawa Keaku Kaumaea Kekaulahao Kahali Lilikalani �Kalipo Makapo Kaluau Napaepae Kamauoha Wana Total 18. The same amount for the three allotments for class three was provided for the fourth class. The people not on the class list, and not placed here, they are in the fourth class. You all know, those who sent us, in this explanation in this issue of Kumu Hawaii, the amount of items allotted to us. It is small and used quickly by the people who heed your words (K.H.) [Page 12 of 21] As for the people who truly desire to write, their allotment is quickly gone, and little remains. The Friday message uses some; the class lists use up more; and then there are letters to send to the parents. The allotment time did not arrive, and it was already used up. Therefore, if we lack some items, we must actually write to you, and it is up to you whether those things are received or not. None of us should be criticized when his person who sent him here denies the wishes asked of him. We should not, however, falsely ask you for anything if we are actually supplied here. Also, you all must encourage our parents to take care of us at this school, and help [Page 13 of 21] with cloth and food and other things you all deem appropriate. That is your loving support to this school and the teachers who have taken care of us. For many resources have been expended on us, to maintain all the students. Therefore, each of you missionaries from Hawaii to Kauai should encourage the parents, the chiefs, the students and the church brethren, the people who call out to God, “your kingdom come,” so that America's people do not become tired of spending their resources on us every year. Our hearts are touched and we are grateful for this good-will and amazing love of God for his placing inspiring, loving thoughts and kind support on this issue, in expending their resources on us. We think they [Page 14 of 21] are truly Jesus' people in their hearts, they being our parents and our friends. Beloved is God for his rare generosity to all of us people here in Hawaii, in spreading his gospel here in Hawaii, and our hearing the loving voice of his favorite Son constantly calling to us. “Come, come you all and receive salvation through me,” as he says, (Jesus Christ). You, friends and brethren, may all say, ["]What is your benefit from residing there?["] Or perhaps others, “We will not help, for they are arrogant and adulterous people; so our help would be wasted on them.” (so say the opposers). Yes, that thought is right; he who misbehaves at this school will not be approved of. He has no right to this task without repentance for his wrongs. [Page 15 of 21] Though it is not right to just leave aside this work. You all know, inner virtue is not righteousness and goodness first, but is evil and sin first, and later comes virtue, goodness and �commitment to Jesus Christ. You all know there has not been a single just man on this earth who has initially achieved his righteousness on his own. But, what we see with all the people of Hawaii, wrongdoing came first, then afterwards the heart and afterward became righteousness and purity of heart, cleansed by the blood of Jesus Christ, the Lord. And what of you? did you first become righteous and is the goodness you first obtained what you now maintain? Hey!! We refute you, that it is not so. Hey!! it is not so, brethren. When you were born, and before the establishment of the world, you and all people were bad. [Page 16 of 21] If we do not heed this command of Lord, Jesus Christ, then we are not at his side, we are at the side of Satan, the great enemy of Jesus. If we do not assist in the good works and righteous deeds through Jesus, as per his command, how indeed will Jesus' kingdom arrive quickly which we beseech him for, night and day? This endeavor is not possible through mouthing prayers without the hands acting, the hands fearing action and not fulfilling. If that is how we act everyday throughout the year, with prayers only on the lips but not actually working with our hands, then his kingdom will surely not arrive here soon. For “Faith without action is death” (according to the holy scripture). The same is true when one asks without action and without fulfillment, that one will certainly not be saved (according to God). (Turn, O reader of this paper, from Genesis to the Revelations of John so that you understand [Page 17 of 21] the nature of this death, which I clarify to you, if you do not act in that way, according to me.) Therefore, all of you who wish to support Jesus' kingdom and those who hope to gain pleasant existence in his kingdom up in heaven should assist in this feeble effort that Jesus' true servants are doing with toil and exhaustion so that our assistance is expended like theirs, so that the glory of Jesus' name can be expanded all around the world, and so the chariot of the Messiah, Christ Jesus, race joyously onward. This is a pleasant task and one without toil for all who intend to maintain his words (according to Jesus.) Matthew 11:30 “For my yoke is pleasant, my burden light.” I John 5:3 “For this is the love of God, to maintain his commands, and his laws are no burden.” It is very clear in these verses [Page 18 of 21] that maintaining his commands with the desire and interest of the heart is never a burden. All the congregations, from Hawaii to Kauai, must truly complete this task, the charge that our great lord Jesus said in the holy bible. This is Jesus' command that is frequently told to us in his Holy Bible, we often read every week. It is not right to be left only to our teachers without any help for them. You all, those who ponder and desire to assist in this endevor, could perhaps write your thoughts and ideas about the propriety or inpropriety of this endevor. Seek, ponder, write, and give it to Kumu Hawaii to show this to all places of this archipeligo, so that the nature of this endeavor is clear, and so that the propriety and great truth of this command of Jesus Christ is deeply understood. �[Page 19 of 21] Kumu Hawaii desires you to clarify your intentions about this important matter because, this is the main thing that Jesus has commanded us to do, which has not been done here in Hawaii. Few indeed are those who have worked at this. There are a few people who are completing this important task in Wailua and other places. Regards to you all, this message of our affection and our clarifying thoughts to you are almost complete. Beloved are all who have acted with affection and grace for their brethren, and God, Christ Jesus, the mighty Lord above all things. Eternal gratitude be unto Him. Amen. By the student children of the college here in Hawaii.

[Page 20 of 21] A Clarification Greetings to you, Kumu Hawaii, You are indeed mine in truth, forever. I am searching for the thoughts to explain these things, with my head aching in search of this, editing with my brain hurthing. You should see, Kumu Hawaii, the erroneous and wrong things in this message and the writing. Do correct the errors in accordance with your thoughts and opinions. If you thought to divide this like the separation of the school regulations in that previous issue due to its length, that is fine.

Haalilio Translation: [Page 1 of 4] London, St. Paul's Hotel Mother, great love to you. I received your letter and beheld the words therein, and I am fortunate to have seen it, for it found its way to me, your son, in this friendless land, a land unfamiliar to me. But the sight of your letter comforted my mind, bringing me good thoughts and loving affection. And because I saw your thoughts in the letter you wrote, I then said to myself, (as follows) It seemed this land was foreign to me, but that is not so, and it turns out to be a familiar place for me. This is because my mother nourishes me with milk on this day. When I read your letter, it brought out many expressions of great love for my mother. [Page 2 of 4] Yet when I looked up, the voice came upon me of the one who fostered me and who favored me before his court. This assuaged my yearnings for my mother. Then kind thoughts, good thoughts, and sincere affection were stirred up in me for my birth mother and my master as well, he who has never set his hand upon me, me being like a son for him and a royal before his throne and before all the masters of you and me. I have been important to him every day, up to when I came here. Because of these good things that have been bestowed on my behalf, therefore I cannot reside in the land where you gave birth to me. Because of these things, here I am, your firstborn child, proceeding down the path set by the command I received from my voiceless master. If my life should end [Page 3 of 4] following this letter of mine to you, my mother, then we may not see each other again. But if a time for us still remains, then, my beloved mother, we shall be blessed to see each other alive and in person. Listen, dear mother, here I am, your child, the eldest of the first time you experienced such pain and peril; it is I. If you had been ill-fated on that day, it would have been you and I both, and I would have been a death companion for you on that day. But no, you �birthed me well, so we escaped your day of distress, mother. Intense compassion for you, that you may have great endurance and abide with great patience. If the Lord reserves more time for us, then we shall be blessed to meet again with love and joy. [Page 4 of 4] Listen, here I am traveling on the road, by the command of the one who has willed me to go. And there are many troubles that beset the body each day, with no day going perfectly. But I am not greatly concerned about myself in these physical difficulties. If I worried about the physical, then I would not have come on this journey. As it is, your son is well supplied with the needs of the body from my master. Great love for both of us. May the Lord save us both. T. Haʻalilio Notes: 1. T. Haalilio – In 1842, Timoteo Kamalehua Haʻalilio (1808-1844) was sent as a diplomat of the Kingdom of Hawaiʻi, along with William Richards, to seek acknowledgement of Hawaiʻi's status as an independent nation. He died on the journey, following the successful completion of their quest and some months after this letter was written to his mother. His mother’s name was ʻEseta Kipa. 2. haku - meaning either "lord" or "master," the term is used both ways in this letter, referring to his master, Kauikeaouli, and to his lord, God. 3. haku leo ole - literally, voiceless master. This could be a reference to the distance that made his master's voice silent, or to the letters, "voiceless messengers" in which he received his orders from the king. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Richards, Fond regards to you. The two of us received your letter of the 17th of this month, and when I saw the words of that letter, I was truly delighted. For our dear friends back there are well, and they dwell peacefully and are safe. They are blessed, as are we, that you and I have made it into this new year here in Europe. Our feet have been safe as we travel and reside upon these unfamiliar lands. However, our safety is not through the goodness and intelligence of man, nor is the good outcome of the work for which we came, or our physical health as we travel these friendless lands; it is the holy one who has taken care of you and I and those we left behind. You are greatly missed, this being the third week we have been apart, so my heart is heavy [Page 2 of 3, left side] for you, because of our long separation. I think constantly about you, wishing to behold your face. Know that my health is good these days, and that I am comfortable. I am, however, sad for us, because of our being apart, but I am taking care of myself through all trials of the body and spirit. I look to the lamb of God, who absolves our misfortunes. Great affection to you. You and I were relieved at receiving the letter from Kaude and the others, and about the wellbeing of Kamehameha and his people and their ongoing safety throughout this endeavor to which we are all sworn. Intense compassion for them all.

T. Haalilio – Timoteo Kamalehua Haʻalilio (1808-1844), a friend of Kamehameha III who held several positions in the government, was sent as a diplomat of the Kingdom of Hawaiʻi, along with William Richards, to America and Europe in 1842, to seek acknowledgement of Hawaiʻi's status as an independent nation. He died on the journey after fulfilling the quest. 2. W. Richards – William Richards came to Hawaiʻi with the second company of missionaries and taught at Lahainaluna, where he first met Haʻalilio. He left the mission in 1838 to serve the government of the Hawaiian Kingdom and in 1842 he was commissioned to accompany Haʻalilio on the diplomatic mission mentioned above. 3. maua – This reference to māua, “we two” is uncertain, but may be P.A. Brinsmade, who was present in Brussels in April of 1844 when that nation �recognized the independence of the Hawaiian Kingdom, as his name is on that document. 4. Kaude/Kauda – This reference to Kaude or Kauda is unclear, and might refer to Kauka, a common Hawaiian name for Dr. Gerrit P. Judd. Either way, it indicates the writer of a letter that Richards and/or Haʻalilio had recently received. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

America [Page 5 of 7] [Archival translation included in original text, is typescripted here.] Letter from Kaawaloa Kapiolani Kuapehu Addressed to Jan. 17, 1840 Samuel Ruggles Greetings to you two. Here is a thought for you two to tell of the works of these years. Great has been the love of the Lord these years. A great many persons have been converted in His church, because of his love to us. Furthermore, one of our tasks has been the building of a church which is completed in some respects, but not in other respects. It is our thought however to finish it, because it is perhaps not comfortable for the physical well-being of our teacher to have a house almost standing on edge. Where are you? You must send forth the love to us, the needy persons, because it is not the thought of the unenlightened land for goodness, but the Lord knows the foundation of some persons and some persons have been zealous. If the Lord knows it is right, there is a school of Kamakelua at Kuapehu here. All the chiefs have died. Kinau has died, Lililiha has died, Hoapilikane [Page 6 of 7] Kapiolani 2 has died. Keano has died. you two, be strong in prayer for us that we may dwell together in a good place, so your dwelling may desire to meet together in a good place. Receive love in your hearts, our brethren, is my thought of love for all the brethren in America. �Here is my thought to you, there is no disagreeable place to be made over to you. Here I am at Kuapehu at the present time. Next Sunday I shall return. Mr. and Mrs. Forbes are strong in the works of the Lord, weak at times and at other times strong. We have a new teacher - Mr. Ivesso the Lord has not left us now. We are thinking of some definite task for physical welfare – planting sugarcane and the mill is working and planting cotton of which we are not sure Coffee is being planted again. If it rains hard there will not be a big crop and the work of no value. It is best for you to write me again some good news that there may be growth at Kuapehu here [Page 7 of 7] Kapiolani 3 Why do you two not write me. Write me, you two. Hale sends love. Samuel sends love. Naihe sends love. Our mother sends love. You sail back here and return again. Great is the work which our teacher is striving to do here, assisting in the new - monthly offering for the school - teacher - this is for the women to do. The men have another task - to keep up the church building with the deficiencies within the ministry of the Lord. Kapiolani. Love to everyone Translation: [Page 1 of 7] Kaawaloa, Kuapehu, January 17, 1840 Greetings to the two of you, Reverend and Mrs. Ruggles, �Here is a message to you two to tell of the events of these years. The love of the Lord has been great in these years, converting many persons to his church through his love for us. Here too, a church was one of our endeavors. Parts of it are complete and others are not. The intention is, however, to complete it, for our teacher might not find physical comfort in a house that is bad, or might get sick. Listen, all of you, generate some compassion for us, those in need, for the minds of those in the land of ignorance have not matured to know righteousness, but the Lord sees the fruition of some, and others truly strive, so if the Lord sees it, that is good. There is also this: Namakelua is holding school here at Kuapehu. Also, all the chiefs have died; Kinau passed away, Lililiha died, Hoapili Kane has died, Keano is dead. I beseech you two to pray diligently for us so we may all live together in a good place. Thus I abide, yearning to [Page 2 of 7] meet together in a good place. Listen, both of you, you should generate love in the hearts of the brethren with my message. An expression of affection is my message to all of the brethren in America. Here is another message for you two, that I have no bundle to send to the two of you, it remains here in Kuapehu. On Sunday, I will go down and come back when that is done. All of you should know that Mr. Forbes and his wife are diligent in the work of the Lord, tender sometimes and forceful at other times. We also have new teachers, Mr. Ives and others, so the Lord has not deserted us here. Also, we have plans we are working on for our livelihood. We have planted sugar cane and the mill is processing, we planted cotton, but it is not certain. We are planting coffee again. The grape vines did not bear much fruit due to improper cultivation. You should write to me again about other good crops to plant so things flourish again here in Kuapehu. [Page 3 of 7] Why are you two not writing to me? You should both write. Hale sends regards, Kamuela sends regards, Naihe sends regards, our mother/aunt sends regards. Say, you should sail here again and then return there. There are great efforts that our teacher is striving to do. Assisting in the new garden for the school teachers, that is up to the women, and as for the men, there is firewood for the church and other needs within the works of the Lord. Kapiolani Love to all the people [Page 4 of 7] [Letter Cover] Mr. Samuel Ruggles Brookfield, Ct. U. S. America [Pages 5, 6 and 7 of 7] [Archival translation included in the original file is typescripted above and is not duplicated here. Notes: �1. Keiki mā - Keiki was an affectionate nickname given by the Hawaiians to Rev. Samuel Ruggles. "Keiki mā" refers to Samuel Ruggles and company, in this case, probably his wife, Nancy Wells Ruggles. 2. Namakelua - Nāmakelua's background is not known, but he appears to have been running a school at Kuapehu. 3. Kinau, Lililiha, Hoapili kane, Keano - Kīnaʻu, Lililiha (Liliha), Hoapilikāne, and Keano were all ranking chiefs of that time, all of whom had passed away prior to this letter. 4. Mika Polepe - Mr. Cochran Forbes was a missionary in the fifth company to whom Kapiʻolani gave permission to build a residence in the uplands of Kuapehu. 5. Mika aiwa - Mr. Ives, Rev. Mark Ives, was a missionary who arrived with the eighth company in 1837 and served at the mission station of Kaʻawaloa, South Kona. 6. crops - A concerted effort was made in the islands to expand agriculture and support the livelihood of the people. In this letter, Kapiʻolani mentions sugar cane, cotton, coffee and grapes and requests recommendations of other crops. 7. ka makuahine o kakou - This reference to "our mother/aunt" is uncertain, but apparently refers to an older, ranking woman familiar to all, possibly Kekāuluohi, the Kuhina Nui, or regent, at the time of this letter. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

I am inconsiderable brother, living on Molokai declare to you my mind reporting the return of Mr and Mrs Hitchcock to meet with you in their native land. They return on account of their frequent infirmities. They have persevered a long time but have no improvement in health among us. It is therefore thought best that they go there if perchance they may in some degree improve in health and then return. But that is uncertain they may recover and may not, it is with God's consent. They return greatly beloved by us, ^very great are Our obligations, to them for their patience in teaching us religion, and teach ing our schools.

When they first landed on Molokai it was an ignorant and backward xxxx and - poverty stricken land. seeing our distressed and death like condition. They disregarded their life and devoted it and their strength for ours. From their first arrival 20 years and upward until the present time they have labored hard for our good.

May 9, 1853 Ansd. May 13, Rev Rufus Anderson D.D. Boston Translation [MHM Chiefs’ Letters Collection, 2016]: [Page 1 of 4] For the Considerations Committee of the A.B.C.F.M., Greetings to you all, I am your humble fellow member residing on Molokai. I am explaining my thoughts regarding the return of Hitchcock and his wife to meet with you folks in their homeland because of their frequent infirmity. They have long been patient with no respite while among us, and it was thought to be appropriate to go there, to perhaps gain some comfort for the body, then return here. It is uncertain, however, whether or not they find respite; it is up to God's allowance. The two of them return greatly esteemed by us. We have been deeply blessed by their great efforts in teaching us virtue and schooling us. Molokai is the foremost of all the islands of Hawaii in peace, obedience and support for all righteous endeavors, and in the enlightenment of the children and brethren. There has been progress with minimal supplies and unified assistance in all the good works. When the two of them first arrived here in Molokai, at the start, this land was extremely ignorant [Page 2 of 4] and impoverished. And when they clearly saw our misfortunes and losses, they abandoned care of their own health and dedicated their well-being and strength to our salvation, from their arrival up to now. For 20 years or more they have worked hard for our benefit, without respite, as they were so engaged in work and strived so hard for what the people needed, thus illness and infirmity befell them. They are returning dearly loved by us and with great pain in our hearts for them, and pain in their hearts for us too, the children. Remaining here with us is the step-parent, Andrews. The real parent is returning there. My great love is my real parent, with a portion of that affection for the step-parent. The two return greatly esteemed by Hawaiʻi’s people and with good names upon their heads, greater than gold and silver. Finished. Me, with gratitude, Honolulu From E.P.

Respt, payt Kuokoa Translation: [Page 1 of 1] Rec'd June 25 �Waiawa, June 25, 1869 Greetings to you, Joseph Kawainui, Here is the Kuokoa delivery boy with 9 dollars in hand. Combined with all funds left at the office it totals 36. There are 14 outstanding with the newspaper subscribers, however, I will announce these charges at this next Sunday morning [service], because July is almost here. Because I have been so busy these past 3 weeks, the rolling of issue 4 is not complete, there are 3 plates to go and then that issue will be done. I was there this past Wednesday and did not see anyone there. Perhaps they were ill. Thanks, Ioane I. Kaninau [Letter Cover] Recd. June 25 1869 From John Ii Ewa O. Respt, payt Kuokoa Notes: 1. Jos.
