April 14. 1828 Mr. Bingham Honolulu Kawaiahao Oahu Translation: [Page 1 of 2] Hawaii, Kaawaloa April 14, 1828 Greetings to you, Mr. Bingham, Here is my message to you two. You both should advise Hiwauli, my companion, to clarify for her the righteousness of the word of God, so that the actions of husband and wife in the kingdom properly fulfill all the practices of God regarding husband and wife. Just as all of you properly observe the roles of husband and wife, such is my intention for her. Regarding that which God has granted to us all as blessings for all persons, that is my thought to you two; that perhaps it is how it should be. Here is another message to the two of you, Kaawaloa is good, there is decorum, wisdom, strength, and proper care, but it is only the two chiefs, their retainers and some other people. On the Sabbath, however, many people are there on that day. I give my salutations to you two there, and to Mr. Chamberlain, Mr. Goodrich and the printers. Beloved is our work. I proceed, thoughtful of our efforts. Do extend my regards to the visitors. God has protected them with grace and God has watched over all of you along with us here in this land of darkness. Deep regards for you folks who see all those who come there. We all love Jesus Christ, our Lord of salvation. John Ii [Page 2 of 2] [Letter Cover] John Ii.

John Ii [Pages 5 through 8 is an English translation that was part of the original file. Annotation and translation from original not included here as part of the Awaiaulu MHM Project 2016] Translation: [Page 1 of 8] Oahu, Honolulu February 26, 1829 Here are the actions of the house wreckers that we saw carrying out destruction. �On Sunday, the 26th of February in late afternoon, about four o'clock, they arrived at the yard of Kalaimoku's house. We saw them running this way, drunk on rum, and they entered the stone house of Kalaimoku and climbed atop that stone house with clubs in their hands. I entered after them and we looked from below at them doing damage above the door of that building and the glass panes of three windows were smashed by them as well as that of the main door, a fourth, which they scattered down in pieces. Many people came at that time for evening prayers, for they intended to hear the word of God, but before we prayed those troublemakers arrived so a great number of people sat quietly and calmly watched their mischief. My thought to Boki was that we should hold them without beating them, because these scoundrels had no right, and that is what I said to Boki. Because of that statement that I made to him, he ordered all the people sitting there to not make trouble to them, that it was fine as it was. Kahalaia was there, another chief, and the people everywhere in Honolulu heard so they came thinking that it was just a battle, for it had been heard that they were coming to tear down [Page 2 of 8] the house of the missionaries and to beat them. Women were the offense, for they guessed that the missionaries had made the sanction, but that was not so; the chiefs had laid the sanction for they knew that the word of God was right saying not to commit adultery, not to commit prostitution and that is why they forbade it. It was not done by the missionaries. When their destruction ended, they all came down from that house and stood with the people, saying to us, ["]There is no goodness about the missionaries, they are deceitful people. It is not that way in Britain and America. The missionaries are liars.["] And that is how they spoke to us. Their statements having ended, it had reached five o'clock and they all left that place, going off to destroy Bingham's house. He followed after them on a different path, coming from among the people, but none of the people followed along behind him. The place was filled with people sitting quietly. His wife, [Mrs.] Bingham had seen the rogue foreigners with sticks in their hands headed there so she closed the door and locked it. They quickly reached the door of the house, it being the second house they attacked, and wreaked damage there. They shattered the glass panes of the windows which scattered down. They saw Bingham going there from where we were. So they gathered together to beat him with the wood from the door of his house, but he was caught by a foreigner from the whaling fleet who had come with the scoundrel foreigners, [Page 3 of 8] and he was saved by that foreigner. So he quickly came back with that foreigner who had saved him and we followed after to take care of him. He came and stood with us and with a chiefess, Lidia Piia, she being a student of his, and she stood in front of him. I was there as well. The foreign scoundrels followed him all the way with no fear of our great numbers, and then stood with us, some with clubs, others with jack knives, with evil statements coming from their mouths, and Bingham was talking with one of the foreigners. Then one of those foreign scoundrels suddenly struck at him with a stick, hitting his umbrella. The blow on that umbrella was fended off by Lidia and then I grabbed the stick from the hand of that foreigner. I seized it, and because of that the foreigners were afraid and they fled. The people talked of seizing them all, for finally we should make trouble to them for their �prior mischief to our chiefs for no reason, and that is the same way that they attacked the teachers, who had made no transgression. Because of that, they were all seized and held. Kaahumanu saw us and that the foreigners had all been seized by us, so she called down to us from up on the house, ["]Do not beat the foreigners; you should take care of them.["] The people heeded her words and sat quietly. That is my message. I am reporting [Page 4 of 8] to all of you in that land of America so that you know the wrongdoings of some of your people here, those foreigners.

This morning I read my Kumu Kahiki, and Kinau saw and asked, “What is that paper you have?” I told her that it is a Kumu Kahiki, a foreign-language manual. She asked for it and I gave it to her. She looked at it until she saw what �it was and then said, “Who did you get this from?” I said it is from Andrews. She read the text and asked again, “Is this all you have?” I replied to her that it was not, that I have two texts. That is the first one and there is a sequel, which is a grammar text. She said, “Show it to me!” I fetched it and brought it, and she looked at the [Page 2 of 4] text, and saw the English words and the Hawaiian words in comparison, whereupon she turned and said to me, “Go up to Lahainaluna for a copy for me.” I said to her, ["]I am not sure, but I will go up there; do not consider my words to you rude, for I heard that this text is only for that place. If you would like, this copy can be for both of us.["] Therefore, I am informing you of this conversation of ours about her wishes, so that you know. And if it is proper in your opinion to provide to her a text like this one, it is up to you. Because, I did not tell her [“]I am writing now to get a copy for you,[”] [Page 3 of 4] no, this is only an explanatory letter to you, brother, Andrews.

Honolulu Oahu Translation: [Page 1 of 4] Luaehu, April 6, 1843. Greetings to the two of you, Mr. and Mrs. Cooke, and to the girls and Sarai, We landed here in Lahaina yesterday, Wednesday, at four in the afternoon. Because of the fair winds, the boys did not suffer; Lota was the only boy weak from vomiting, and recovery was quick upon reaching the shore. The men's strong paddling was one of the reasons for arriving quickly. From morning time on they paddled that day until we neared our anchorage. All the canoes were already at hand and took all of us, the boys, Dr. Judd and Kekūanāoʻa. We saw Auhea and [Page 2 of 4] Kuakini, who both give their greetings to the two of you and all the girls. The king has not reached during these days; he is in Wailuku and may or may not arrive tomorrow. This Sabbath day is up to me, and the work begins. We slept here in Luaehu last night along with Dr. Judd, and he and I talked with Auhea about how we should go inland, and for Judd to stay with her; and that seems to be what was decided. Auhea and I went up there this morning to put things in order and the boys came up too. By 10 am, all of us, the boys and Dr. Judd, mounted horses, and we rode to Lahainaluna for the presentation. We returned in the evening [Page 3 of 4] before dinner. Dr. Judd went to Mr. Baldwin’s place for the foreigner's meeting to abolish liquor. At nine, he returned. At that meeting, there were twenty foreigners as well as the officer of the ship. They are liquor abolitionists. Many whaling ships are anchored here these days. There are perhaps thirty ships anchored, and the rest are coming, according to what we saw of the ships between yesterday and today. The nature of the boys at this time is not clear enough for me to report to you their rights and wrongs.

Greetings to you two, Mr. and Mrs. Cooke, Because we are apart these days, unable to converse one mouth to another, it is necessary to clarify by letter the various aspects of our stay. Because of that, I am informing you about us and the boys of ours. From the first day of our stay here until now, it has been as it is when we all stay together, either there or here. They do not resist, and they are not a burden; our stay here is pleasant. The domicile is peaceful, staying here at the house and going [Page 2 of 2, left side] to the ocean to swim last Saturday, horseback riding that evening, and going to church yesterday. The boys went to English-language services twice, all of us in the morning and then just Dr. Judd and the four boys went again. And that night we sailed to the ship, the four boys and the two of us. Dr. Judd took over Sunday School. We saw someone talking with Dr. Judd, possible help for all of us, however it was not clear. Maybe Mose has written to you two about this. We miss you folks very much and pray to God on your behalf, to help you folks and us as well. Much affection to the two of you and the young [Page 2 of 2, right side] girls, Pauahi Loeau Maheha Kekaaniau Emma Kamamalu Kamakaeha and Sarai. From John Ii Notes: 1. Mi.

Cooke, I received your letter on the evening of the 10th after my second letter to you. I set forth in that letter the character of our living here, perhaps not known to you. I declared in that letter the peace of our government, because there is no hindrance to us and the children. According to the instructions you gave me, so have we done. The little children have gone to bed at seven or eight at times and the larger children at nine oclock. They have not read much at this time. The little children awaken in the morning before 6 and the older children later and in a half hour is our family prayers. This morning they read Psalms 97. After prayers, at 7:30 breakfast was prepared and after breakfast there was a period for play until 10 a.m., when the four children went with me to the Legislature and I placed Manaku in charge of the little children because of the illness of Kinimaka, but he has come here today, perhaps in good health. �[Page 6 of 7] J Ii to CookeApr. 12, 1843 p.2 2. After lunch, there is more play and at four oclock there is horseback riding every day until 6. There are two days for bathing a week, on Wednesday and Saturday at 3 p.m. and at 1 p.m. and 2 p.m. boating if we have boats. They have not read much of the papers which you gave; this is their greatest lack. Peter was in trouble yesterdy seizing the rope of the horse behind and being pulled by the horse and falling down, hitting his left eyebrow in a dirt mound, perhaps a stone. On our returning from Luaehu we saw it was painful and I reported it to Dr. Judd and he gave him some gum and it is now all right. We are very happy that Mrs. Cooke is resting a little. The children send love to her and to you, but they do not write to you and the girls, something evident to you. I am very desirous that you write a letter about the activities which we thought about formerly, like you reported to me, that I may be clear in my mind the right time to speak [Page 7 of 7] to the parents. But you have reported and perhaps it is stopped, but it its up to you. Because love is more valuable than everything else, I remember you ^all with love, all the girls, Mrs. Cooke and Joseph and Martha, Sarah and Victoria. Much love, John Ii �Translation: [Page 1 of 7] Wainee April 12, 1843 Greetings to you, Amos S. Cooke, I received your letter in the evening of the 10th, after my second letter to you. I explained in that letter how we are doing here, which might not have been clear. I told in that letter about the peacefulness of our domain, for nothing hinders us or the children. Just as you have instructed me, that is what we are doing. The younger boys sleep at eight, sometimes at seven. Nine is when the older boys sleep, however they sometimes do not read much at that point. In the mornings the younger boys wake before six o'clock while the older boys wake up after them, and at half-past is when we do devotions. This morning they reached Psalms 97 in the reading. We [Page 2 of 7] finish our prayer at half-past seven, if food is not ready before then. After eating, it is playtime. At 10, the four boys go with me to the legislature and I leave the younger boys with Manaku, due to the illness of Kinimaka, though he came today, perhaps having recovered. After lunch they play again, and at four in the afternoon, they ride horseback. That is how the afternoons are spent all six days. There are two swimming days of the week, Wednesday and Saturday at three o’clock. At one and two, we go boating and paddling when we have boats to use. They do not often read the papers you have given, that is one of their shortcomings. Peter had a slight accident yesterday, having seized the rope of a horse from behind and being pulled by the horse until he fell. He hit his left eyebrow against a clod of dirt or a rock. When we returned from Luaehu, we [Page 3 of 7] realized he was hurt. I told Dr. Judd, and he gave me a plaster, and it might be done. We were very pleased Mrs. Cooke got some rest. Her boys care greatly for her and for you, but the fact that they do not write many letters to the two of you and the girls should make it clear to you all why I offer reports. I would like for you to write in a letter about the activities that we considered previously, like that which you shared with me, so I may know the appropriate time to speak with the parents.

Halekula lii Honolulu Translation: [Page 1 of 4] Luaehu June 12, 1845 Greetings to you all, Mr.Cooke and company, Someone told me yesterday that Koana had informed him about the things that you folks had told him to report to me, but the two of us did not meet in person before they all left last Friday night. I regret not having seen them. But when someone told that your situation is good, I was happy at that, since nothing has troubled you during those days that have now passed. That is due to the benevolence of the Lord, or so deems [Page 2 of 4] my heart. And as for our existence here, it is equally comfortable, though our king, Kamehameha III, is ill, with an ache in the right foot, a pounding in the head, and swelling in the knee. These were treated by the doctor of the warship, who is now going back. He did not receive what he wanted; not one thing that he thought he would get did he acquire. He left empty handed. The way I see it, the one thing he got was entry into house after house, day after day, his coming here and his leaving. We have just gotten word that he will take Leleiōhoku and settle him at Dr. Judd's place, to join them. This not by the king, but by his own plan. Dr. Judd has the king’s letter, you will likely hear from him. [Page 3 of 4] He is angry at Dr. Judd, Baldwin and the missionaries, or so I hear from some folks here. The chiefs have no concerns regarding the statement about Ha’alilio and how an American ridiculed him as a trifle, according to them. Because they are happy at this point, and also troubled by G. Paulet, that is all. I am not sure when I will return. Regards to you all, From John ʻĪʻī [Page 4 of 4] [Letter Cover] John Ii 1843 Lahaina June 12th Recd 13th ans For Amos S. Cooke and company.
