[Archivist’s note]
Gov. Nahaolelua
Honolulu
July 20, 1854
D. Baldwin
Greetings to you,
I received your letter that was written on the 17th of this month, concerning House of
Noble’s passing the bill about suppressing wine. What you heard is true.
Listen, the nobles in the House of Nobles are unusual this year, in my observation.
At the time the bill for suppressing wine was passed, these were the only people who
opposed that bill:
Keoni Ii
Namakeha
Kekaulahao
P. Nahaolelua
[Page 2 of 2]
�Therefore, the majority of the house approved it, and we asked the secretary to place our names
in the record as being in opposition.
That is all.
I remain, with
gratitude,
P. Nahaolelua
D Baldwin

Gov. Nahaolelua

1870.
3. Namakeha - Bennett Nāmākēhāokalani was a high chief and a member of the House of
Nobles.
4. Kekaulahao - Joshua Kekaulahao was a politician and judge in the Kingdom of Hawaiʻi
and a member of the House of Nobles at the time of this letter.

Greetings to you,
�The great story, Pikoiakaalala, is coming. It is being brought over, and you can include it in our

Hamakua October 11, 1837
Greetings to you all,
Missionary leaders, I, Kaaukai, am requesting that you provide a minister here in Hamakua.
This is because we do not have a minister, nor a teacher. Alas! Alas for us! We shall die,
and thousands here in Hamakua are descending to the grave, men, women and children, alas,
how sad for us us, being without a teacher.
O faithful one, offer up yourself as a soldier for Jesus Christ. Stand up and help us here in
benighted Hamakua.
O missionary leaders, rise up and provide a minister for us, help us as a people in the
name of Jesus Christ.
Listen, all of you leaders, all who agree with this message and those who care about our
miring in death. If only you would have compassion for us and provide a teacher for us, put his
[name] on paper and give it to me in advance.
I shall keep his name with gladness for my speaking to God and to you all, so that my
eyes may be set upon his arrival into the Atlantic Ocean and to here in the Pacific, and through
the coral heads here in Hawaii.
Regards to all of you,

Greetings to you Chamberlain, Mr. Clark and Bingham. Greetings to you all, missionaries.
Here is my message to you all. The church members have mistreated me, and have not
been kind to me. I have done no wrong such that they should mistreat me. I declare to you that I
have not committed adultery; I have not committed murder; I have not stolen; I have not lied; I
have not been deceitful; I have not broken the laws of God, that I would be wrong. Here I am,
the place I have found; that is where I speak and work. I have my worship on the Sabbath day
and my reading of the word of God, as well as singing on the sacred day, and praying over the
dead. I gained all those things from Bingham, who gave those things to me. As for sermons, he
did not give them to me, and I did not do those. I did not expound to the people in my days of
ignorance, I spoke about my ignorance. At this point I have not spoken about the meaning and
the words to the people. As for prayer on the sacred day, I did prey. I stood and read to the
people, and when the reading was done I spoke my thoughts to them. God’s word is what I
speak. And yet, my wrong is supposedly violating the laws of God, I did not stray, such as to be
considered wrong. Yet my fellow church members had no compassion for me in our time of
ignorance.
[Page 2 of 4]
When Liholiho sailed to foreign lands is when I learned the word of God. On Hawaii is
where I learned, without regard for God. I returned from Hawaii to Lahaina and we stayed there
and I gained the little letters of the spelling primer, and when I arrived here on Oahu, I knew how
to write. My love for God rose and I prayed because of joy and concern for God, and had a
teacher named Kaomi who ordered us to go and extinguish evil, and we did go to extinguish
wrongdoing. My brother-in-law, Naihe, came and said to me, [“]Teach our lands literacy, you be
the teacher.[”] I consented and fetched the paper for the students, and when I got the paper, he
and I came back to offer it in all the lands. I was the teacher from the time of ignorance. And
afterwards a teacher was found and I gave it to him/her. And when the governors saw something
wrong, that teacher left, we waited and found another teacher. I managed that teacher and when I
saw wrongdoing, I returned him/her to what is right, but he/she did not heed my words and when
the governors saw the wrong, I moved. The governors summoned me to address the wrong,
[“]we clearly saw his/her wrongdoing.[”] I agreed. He/she came up and completely took the
schoolhouse, but I resisted. He/she petitioned to the teachers, and they agreed that the
schoolhouse would be theirs. I felt that I had not done wrong to warrant the loss of my
schoolhouse that I had from the time of ignorance until now.
[Page 3 of 4]
�My schoolhouse is gone. Here is the reason it was taken by them: my standing up on the Sabbath
day and singing on the Sabbath day, those are my errors. I went to you for the word of God that
you have and I asked you about the missing parts. Yet when they heard, it was good. My
thoughts tell me that supposedly my wrongs were my bad deeds, yet God’s word is my work. My
wrong would be from the word of God, that would be my sin, my praying on the sacred day,
speaking throughout the lands about my wrongs. My mind supposes that the dirt of the land is
what we should toss away, and goodness is what should remain on the land. My schoolhouse was
taken by them. I looked for my wrong, but there was nothing. I do not agree that there is dirt in
my heart that emerges through my mouth to make me be bad. My thought is that my schoolhouse
be returned. You should address this. For if I had done wrong then it would be right for it to go
to them. My abiding thought is that I have committed my heart as a servant of God. My physical
form remains outside like anyone who has been baptized; there is only one's body while one's
heart remains [inside]. If it were external, it would not be right. The physical form is what one
presents to be seen by people.

Kapule of
Kahana recd
March 26, 1831
From me, Pule
Chamberlain
Honolulu
Notes:
1. Kamalani - Mr. Levi Chamberlain was a member of the second company of missionaries.
He was the superintendent of secular affairs for the mission and served as a missionary
teacher.
2. mi Kalaka - Rev. Ephraim Clark arrived with the third company of missionaries.
3. Pinamu - Rev. Hiram Bingham arrived in Hawaiʻi with the first company of missionaries
in 1820. He was the leader of the Mission and was the pastor of the first church,
Kawaiahaʻo.
4. liholiho - Liholiho, Kamehameha II, was the first-born sacred son of Kamehameha I and
Keōpūolani. He ruled the kingdom after his father's death in 1819, departed for England
in 1823 and died there in 1824.
5. kapiapa Walu - Ka Pīʻāpā Walu, lit. the eight-fold primer, which was one of the several
publications of the alphabet primer used to teach reading and writing.
�6.
Naihe - Nāihe, a brother-in-law of Kapule, was a counsellor to the chiefs and an early
convert to Christianity. He lived in the Kona district of Hawaiʻi Island with his wife,
Kapiʻolani, where they were both active in the mission effort.
7. ka omi - Kaomi, a young part-Tahitian man, was a teacher for Kapule and many members
of the royal court.
8. kia Aina - Kiaʻāina, or governor, may refer to the governor of Hawaiʻi island, but appears
to also reference the chiefly district managers in the Kona area.
9. Pule - It has been assumed that Pule is actually Debora Kapule Kekaihaʻakūlou, who was
among the first people to learn reading and writing. This Pule, who may be a different
person, addresses trouble as a teacher in the Kona district in 1831. Other letters from the
same period by Debora Kapule were written while she was helping to run a school in
Kahana, Waimea, Kaua‘i.

[Typescript of English-language note]
one of the happiest Anagrams in any
language, is that which has been made from
Pilates question to our Savior. Quid est
veritas? These three words make the
�following anagramatic sentence
Est viv qui adest - (The man whom
you see before you)
Notes:
1. The list of names on page 1 has no context by which to understand it. They may be
candidates for the Poʻahā Bible study group.
2. v - This probably represents the "w" of wahine to identify the female gender.
3. Quid est veritas? - Latin for "What is truth?" the note that contains this phrase appears
totally unrelated to the list of names on the previous page.
