Typescript: [Page 1 of 9] 43 Translation Honolulu Oahu, Jan 12 1839 To Martin Van Buren, President of the United States of America, Salutations of friendship & uninterrupted peace. Allow me to trouble you with a letter, for we have met some difficulty which I desire to explain to you. The American Consul, John C. Jones, has refused to submit to the laws of these islands, an account of which I will give you, together with our proceedings in the business, which have been adjusted as correctly as we could with our knowledge on the subject. Some years ago, perhaps thirteen, the said consul took to himself a wife, Hannah by name, altho' he was not married by a clergyman, as that custom was not then established among us & some of our own people were doing the same. In the year of our Lord 1827, a law was enacted, declaring that “christian marriage was proper �for men & women, but if a woman regard her man as her only husband, & the man regard his woman as [Page 2 of 9] his only wife, they are legally husband & wife, but if the parties are not married, nor regard themselves as husband & wife, let them forthwith separate. This law was translated into English, printed & put into circulation, October 7, 1829. Many of the chiefs & people now live united in marriage by this law, & would be punished if they should separate, although they have never been formally married by a clergyman. When Kaahumanu I ascertained that Mr. Jones had many women, contrary to law, she made known to him the law, & in the presence of Hannah, asked him which woman he would choose for his wife. He pointed to Hannah, & said “this one”. Kaahumanu then asked Hannah whom she would choose for her husband, & she said “this man.” Then Kaahumanu said to the consul, “you must put away all your other women, this one is your wife.” & he assented to her words. Hannah likewise assented. Mr. Jones lived with this woman, occupying the same house, their daughter being well grown, when the kingdom was confirmed to Kauikeaouli & the agency of government to me. When I heard that Mr. Jones had another woman besides Hannah, I enquired [Page 3 of 9] of him, which was the woman of his choice. He replied, “Hannah.” I said to him, “Let her be your wife, you must have but one.” I accordingly regarded her as his wife forever, & they continued to live together until he made a voyage to California, from whence he returned on the third of December 1838. Hannah then wrote me, informing me of his arrival with another wife - a Spanish woman whom he had married, & making complaint to me against him. I �accordingly summoned the consul on the 13th day of December by the following letter. Salutations to you John C. Jones, the American Consul. Your wife Hannah has complained to me that you have married another woman in a foreign land, & have brought her to Honolulu, & that you do not return home to her. She therefore demands that we restore to her, her lawful husband to live with her as before, & that you separate from the new woman. You will therefore come to my house, & settle this business tomorrow, at three o’clock P.M. We shall be at leisure when we will meet you & have a talk. When you receive this, let me know what you mean to do. Yours, &c Kaahumanu II [Page 4 of 9] When the consul had read this letter he said to the bearer of it, “I will answer it this evening.” Four days passed away, but he did not answer my letter nor comply with my summons, then I wrote to him again as follows Honolulu Fort, Dec 17, 1838 To John C Jones Sir, We waited for your letter on the 13th but did not receive it & for your attendance at my house on the 14th but you did not meet us & the time passed by. I now summon you to appear immediately before me & answer to the complaint of your wife Hannah that you have married another wife in a foreign land & brought her to this place. I must know the truths of this charge, & we must settle it together. But I do not wish you to increase your offence, nor can a settlement of this accusation of Hannah your wife be any longer delayed. You will therefore appear before me tomorrow at three o’clock �P.M. & we will set apart that time from all other business. Do not treat this with contempt lest your offence be greatly augmented. Desiring your good, I am with salutations, Kaahumanu II [Page 5 of 9] When the time appointed for trial had passed by without the Consul making his appearance, the governor sent an officer after him, but he did not come: he repeated the message in vain, & while we were considering whether we should send soldiers & fetch him, he came on our sending the officer the third time. There were assembled chiefs, judges, Hannah & the witnesses. I required him to return to his wife Hannah, but he refused, saying he had married another woman in a foreign country & that she was his wife. This would have been right if he had not already a wife here. Then I declared to him that Hannah was his lawful wife, that they had lived together many years like our own people who have not been united in christian marriage & when the laws were established, their union was confirmed. You two are in the same circumstances. The consul then said, “I knew not the law”. There was much said on this occasion, which it was unnecessary to repeat. The time expired before the meeting business was closed. I therefore required him to appear on the 20th day of December at three o’clock P.M. for another talk to which he consented, but he returning to his place, has never made his appearance since. [Page 6 of 9] After a few days had been allowed to pass, I wrote to him the following letter, of which he took no notice. Honolulu Fort, Dec 25, 1838 To John C. Jones �Sir, We have looked in vain for your appearance before us on the 20th of this month - & the governor has likewise sent his officer several times to summon you to a further trial, but you have not seen fit to pay the least attention to our demand. You have brought yourself into greater difficulty by this contemptuous treatment of us. Although we first addressed you in kindness, yet you would not regard it? But be cause of my great desire that this business may be amicably adjusted come to-morrow at three o’clock P. M. & we will bring it to a conclusion. Do not absent yourself. If you do not appear at the time appointed, I will talk no more with you & you will have no further opportunity to make any plea, I shall after that talk only with Hannah, for on the evening of the 19th of December, it was evident to me that you are really married to another woman from a foreign country, according to the accusation of Hannah which she said before us. And when I demanded of you that you return to Hannah, your lawful wife, you refused in the presence [Page 7 of 9] of us all, saying, “I will not live with her again, I had rather die than return to her. This you said, but what have I to do with that? You have forsaken your wife, of whom Kaahumanu the I said to you at a certain time, “Hannah is your wife.” likewise the law which binds all persons and aims that a man must not have two wives, nor a woman two husbands. I myself once asked you what woman you chose to take according to the law, & you replied, “Hannah is my wife.” This reply you made to me in conversation we had before you went to California. Under this government all persons have not had the ceremony of marriage performed who have long lived regularly with their wives; for when the law was passed, such connections as that of you & Hannah became legally ratified. But you have denied before me that you knew of any such law. That �was very strange language to my ears that I heard from you. How can you deny your knowledge of a law which was everywhere understood? You cannot. This is what you are now required to do: return to Hannah, otherwise you must be deprived of a wife while you live under this government, just the same as any other person against whom our laws grant a divorce. This however, does not rest entirely with me: it will be for Hannah to ask a bill of divorcement. This is what [Page 8 of 9] I have to communicate Yours &c Kaahumanu II The consul not making his appearance before me, I wrote to my king who is living at Lahaina informing him of what I had done, & asking his judgement on this case. When the king received this information, he together with his Counsellors, gave the subject due considerations & the result of their deliberations was that the consul is a very great offender, that an American consul ought not to conduct himself on these islands as he has done, & that we ought not to suffer it. One duty only appeared plain for us to do in order to wipe off the stain from both governments, namely to refuse to acknowledge him any longer as consul. The king therefore sent him the following communication: To John C. Jones You have long enjoyed the consulship at these island with the consent of this government. You have often treated this government with contempt, & recently have been guilty of the crime of bigamy; when under trial for that crime, you treated my government with new contempt. Wherefore I refuse [Page 9 of 9] �any longer to know you as the consul from the United States of America. Respect for the government of your country as well as respect for my own, compels me to do this. Kaamehameha III Lahaina January 8, 1839 Such has been the course in regards to your officer which we have pursued, believing it to be both just & honorable, but if you think otherwise, please inform me by letter, for we have not yet acquired much knowledge. We have no books which give us information respecting the customs of foreign governments & how we ought to conduct ourselves towards their consuls. I have the honor to be with respect & consideration, By authority of the King, Yours, (signed) Kaahumanu II Notes: 1.

I received one from Nelly a very short one to be sure, and just long enough, short enough I mean, as to let me know that ^she had some faint ideas of such a being ^as myself somewhere, And then again it was ^so distant, so top lofty, that I was almost afraid to answer it but finally I summoned courage, but I haven't sent sent it yetI did not know but ^what widowers are getting scarce there - I was sorry to hear from you that you did had not received one from meI wrote you in Paris but perhaps, as yours was dated the 7th March, that the letters did �not arrive till the 9th as I have heard Yours are the only regular letters that I [Page 2 of 4] receive. William also wrote very regularly, but I have received only one from the King thus far, eight months from home, the Queen has written oftener, and her letters are very affectionate. John Young wrote once & I received one from the Governor notifying me of the death of my step mother. But that great composition writer, the all powerful, the never tiring letter writer, Miss. E. H. Judd not a single word, very true I never wrote, but then friends are nothing else but such, and sometimes they are placed in different circumstances. Nelly, she has written of course “tres pen”. But Bernice she has no course to pursue, but to say that she has cut me, that is all, the I wrote her in San Francisco, was acknowledged indirectly by another person to Lot but merely mentioning the fact that she has received it. I see no excuse except that more other objects of more interest than letter writing have taken her round, in plain, that she is to be married, as I hear, of course there is no use of [Page 3 of 4] expecting any, but perhaps she might have written to let me know ^that I am sure that that would be a very good piece of news, at any rate it would be gratifying but perhaps all forgotten, the world, its cares; its every thing; ^everything looking on ahead to future happiness & bliss-true happiness in Wedded life, settling down, keeping house, money from the Hawaii Plantationdelightful- exquisite happiness I say: Go it �when you are young” Now I have spent 3/4ths of my sheet blowing ^up the whole town of Honolulu, now I will tell how we are doing. The Doctor is fat, well, gained 20 pounds since he left home. Lot & myself ditto every thing goes on well. Just returned from Washington, saw General Taylor, went to his reception, visited Congress saw most of the Great Men of the United States. Henry Clay was making a good deal of fuss about a compromise between the Northern & Southern States, about the Slavery Question. We first arrived from England at Boston, was made Lions of there by the Mayor & City Authorities and also by the American Board. The Country seats around there are very Few.

We are going up to Niagra falls, visit the Lakes, and your Mother, and then we shall be Homeward Bound. When in Paris I wrote, I did not come like to come home so very soon, but it was only because I had got out of the sphere of growth attraction. But the nearer I draw towards home I feel liking jumping some where I know not.

Typescript: [Page 1 of 4] Hotel Meurice 1 April 1850 My dear Mother Bates, Your very kind letter of the 26th of November was gratefully received I assure you, for it was about the only one of the few answers that I received to the many letters that I wrote to friends in the Islands, but with a few exceptions. I find that my letters were all directed wrong, for perhaps if I had not written to those I did not write to, I would have received answers as prompt as if they took a little interest in friends at a distance. I am sorry I did not write to the Girls, for, Lot, who wrote to them has received their answers, and they are I think the only ones that answered his letters at all except the King & Queen & John Young. I have only received one from the King since I left, and also only one from John Young, but the Queen is very kind to me & writes very often. Besides your own, the Queens are the only ones that have reces acknowledged the receipts �of my letters; I believe John Young did so too, but of my other letters that I wrote I presume they [Page 2 of 4] have all been lost. For their fate does not seem to be known. I wrote to Bernice, to Hopkins and to several others, but, I do not what the matter is in Honolulu. In the Girls of letters to Lot, they speak of having a great deal of company, I do not think some of my other friends have half the Company, and yet the Girls have found time enough to answer their letters and also to their father. Perhaps - but I do not know how much credit to give to some reports that I have reached us, and, therefore, perhaps I ought not to Complain. But, I assure you, that I felt it quite hard, for I have no reason to think of, that would prevent some reasons of my friends that I wrote to from answering. William, writes regularly, and I am so obliged to him. We have now been in this delightful city for more than two months, and sad to relate, the longer I stop in Paris, the more attached I have become, You must think me very naughty but so it is. We have gone some into English society in France, & I like it much, but, I think I prefer French Society, and I think I would enjoy it infinitely more if I could speak the language. The French society I think is more fascinating, but perhaps you will say, that I have been soft soaped by the French, but I do not know what it is, but [Page 3 of 3] there is something that is so pleasant, with the French young ladies especially. We are taking French lessons, & to hear some of the Mademoiselles use words that we know, to my ear it is exceedingly sweet. We go to theatres in the Evening & also to the Operas and other sights in Paris which are all very interesting. - I think Paris is the finest city that we have been in yet, and there is such a gaiety among the population, and the streets �are far superior to any other in Cleanliness, and also the Climate agrees with me better than any we have been in yet, and on the Whole I think I would like to spend a year in France before I return, but, I suppose I am to return sooner. I wrote to Libby at last mail, and shall write to Nell soon, for I like to receive answers to letters. And I shall also write to Mr. Bates, and the boys if I can have time. I am sorry Mr. Jasper and his wife have fallen out. but are quite amused with the Vida affair. I cannot write much longer. I can only add that Your brother is doing his work & has begun at it with right good earnest. I hope he will succeed in his Mission ^but have doubts. He enjoys very good health, & grows very fat. My great love to the boys, and a kiss for Sissy & her baby. Tell sissy I shall bring her home something very nice. Remember me to Mrs. Judd, & the Girls and Also to Mr. Bates.
