Typescript: [Page 1 of 1] [Archival Note] No. 213 Oahu December 5 1826 Good will to you Mr. Loomis together with all the missionaries from Hawaii to Kauai. These are my sentiments for you all. I do not know of you having done wrong. Not in the least have my eyes ever seen any thing blameable from the first even down to the present time. Here is the fault concerning which the world is angry, the word of Jesus. To the wicked it is an evil word, but to those who believe in Jesus, it is the mighty word of Jehovah. It is the good thing you have brought to us- the salvation of our souls- Jesus, he it is whom you have preached to us. Our hearts have looked and beheld the real salvation, and the certain truth. Then the eyes saw the wickedness crowded out by the entering in of the good. Now the wickedness is without, because Jesus came �to take upon himself our sins, and he gave also his body to be food for us, and his blood to be the means of cleansing away the evil of our hearts, and his powerful spirit to be that means of enlightening ^the means of enlightening the mind, and the mind his word to be that^ by which to become straight.

Typescript: [Page 1 of 4] (Translation of Malo’s letter to Mr. Loomis) Oahu Honolulu Dec 11, 1827 Love to you Mr & Mrs. Loomis also to the preachers and church of the Lord & all the brethren I am about to make known to you an affair of consequence which has been witnessed here. Maui has suffered a cannonading from Capt. Clark of an English ship. Females were the ground of the difficulty- their name Mikabako and Nakoko. Mikabako had recently been married. They went recently to the ship for the purpose of adultery, which when Hoapili heard he asked the Capt. of the ship to return the woman. Capt. Clark replied to Hoapili, I do not know any thing about them. Hoapili said let my men go and search, the Capt. said I will return & search & tomorrow I will return them. To this Hoapili consented. The morning arrived but no females came. The Capt of the vessel lied. Three times Hoapili asked him but he could by no means obtain them. Then Hoapili stopped the Capt on shore, & took his boat away from the beach. Then the cannonading took place- many balls fell �in the back part of Lahaina. The English Consul has called Hoapili to account for these things. He says the fault is altogether Hoapili’s. He says the crime is a great one, that Hoapili [Page 2 of 4] is a mad man, that he shall pay for this his theft in stealing the boat. For these things the English Consul is exceedingly angry at Hoapili, so also is Jones & all the foreigners. Here also is another subject. Capt Buckle has come after Mr. Richards to put him to death. He is exceedingly angry at Mr. Richards letter. Jones and the English Consul & the foreigners of Honolulu and of Hawaii and of Maui have all but one desire, the death of Mr. Richards. But they can’t effect it, for the chiefs of this country guard Mr Richards by night & by day. For this reason his enemies cannot get at him. Here also is another subject - The English Consul threatens war upon the chiefs of the Sandwich Islands - He says he will put to death all the chiefs of Maui except two, Nahienaena & Kekauonohi. He has also threatened war upon Kaikioewa - he said he would cut his head off. Kaikioewa & he came very near having war at Tauwai. The Consul said to Kaikiowea, let Kauikeouli go by himself back to the moun tains, and added that he would take of Kaikioewa's head & demolish the fort. That he was by no means afraid to make war with the chiefs of the Sandwich Islands for he had power to put them all to death, that he had five hundred that he was guarding Kauikeouli, the king, & Boki but Kaahumanu should put them to death, - That Kaahumanu was the great king of the Sandwich Islands - that Kaikioewa was king of Tauwai - Naihe king of Oahu Hoapili king of Maui & Kaukini king of Hawaii. [Page 3 of 4] That Kauikeouli was by no means king of the Sandwich Islands that he & Boki would have been put to death by Kaahumanu if he had not guarded & saved them. This is the amount of what he said at Tauwai. The chiefs bear patiently this talk of his - they by no means turn their thoughts to his speeches, for the chiefs of the Sandwich Islands lay themselves low before him, & he exalts himself far above them. �Here also is another great thing the anger of the foreigners at the chiefs, which for its greatness is unexampled. There is no ground at all for their anger. The chiefs are paying all their debts. This is the cause of the angerThe chiefs are assembled at this place, Honolulu, the chiefs of Hawaii, the chiefs of Maui, the chiefs of Oahu, the chiefs of Tauai are assembled to consult about establishing laws for the country - They exceedingly desire to make war upon the chief of the Sandwich Islands. The Americans & Englishmen have all had a council together & this is the result declared - Kuanawa shall have charge of the fort on the hill & Manuia the charge of the fort near the harbor - the five hundred men of the consul & all the foreigners, are to come & take Kauikeouli to themselves entirely & keep him from this time forward - that all the chiefs & people who have turned to the good way are to separate themselves to another place, & they alone have charge of the king forever after. Thus says the American consul whose name is John Jones - thus says [Page 4 of 4] the English consul & thus say all the foreigners who reside in this country. The English consul says to Kauikeouli, if you establish laws, your lands are gone - but if you first give information to England & King George establish laws then that will be right” The American consul says, let them be established on Hawaii and on Maui, but by no means on Oahu. Those two men exalt themselves beyond account - the chiefs of the Sandwich Island fall down under their feet. These two men can not condescend so low as to converse with us for they are so very great. There is one exceedingly basic foreigner at Maui Mr Butler - his mouth is like a sword- he cannot possibly speak a good thing for his mouth is full of bitterness. The chiefs bear patiently all these wicked speeches. The chiefs of the Sandwich Islands are like prisoners of theirs. I declare these things to you that you may publish them that all men may know these sayings of theirs. But make no use of my name, but if you think best it is with you �to write it or not. Love to you all in the name of the Lord Jesus. David Malo Notes: 1. Mr. and Mrs. Loomis - Elisha & Maria Loomis was in the first missionary company in 1820.

Typescript: [Page 1 of 2] Honolulu- 2 March 1847 Sir I do not send to you the notes by Mr Wylie and respect to the 22 articles which you propose in Hawaiian, because you do not understand our language. I am am sorry not to agree with you in many points, but I cannot consent that the King should not be Sovereign and Supreme in his own dominions or that he should be less etc, over your fellow citizens, his own natives or other foreigners. Nor can I consent that foreigners should dictate laws to us, or enjoy privileges enabling them to come into the country, without permission of the authorities, to supplant the natives of these lands, and take the whole power into their own hands. I know you do not wish to do this but your treaty would have that effect and in many things it would favor bad Americans, and prevent the govern- �ment from appointing those who are great men to attain justice from those who wish to cheat them. I cannot consent that any treaty should be formed contrary to the resolutions of the last Legislature. We desire to live quietly and in peace & not to be always in trouble. Give us a treaty that will present peace & not create troubles - one that will not restrain us in punishing the bad, nor in appointing the good. I am sure you will l endeavor to do so, for the President of the United States [Page 2 of 2] has recommended you as a good man, and I believe you to be our friend. I have the honor to be, with much esteem, Sir Your obedient servant John Ii Anthony Ten Eyck Esquire Commissioner of the U.S 2L 0L 0L Notes: 1.
