Luaehu June 16, 1843.
Greetings to you all, Amos S. Cooke and Mrs. Cooke, and to all of our children, and our
beloved fellow worker, Mr. Sturges.
I am very pleased at receiving the letters from you and Sarai today off the ship Keoua.
Captain Kaina gave them to me. I looked your letter over from the top to bottom of the message.
And what you folks have heard there concerning the letters and the works of the leaders,
Richards and the others, is the same as what we have heard. Baldwin is a bit uncertain about the
chiefs, because of a statement made to Haalilio by one of the servants of the steamship on which
those two sailed. It was translated into English by Lord G. Paulet from a French newspaper that
came from Spain, and Baldwin translated it into Hawaiian. The chiefs do not pay mind to it; they
are happy about Richards' counsel on those things. They are happy at hearing that it progressed
and that the work of those two among the great nations is nearing success. I am happy as well
about the king’s steadiness concerning the intentions of that warship commander, Paulet.

John Ii,
Lahaina June 16, 1843
Rec’d 17th ans
To Mr. Amos S. Cooke and company
Chiefs’ School
Honolulu
[Page 3 of 4]
If he is equally determined against all temptations, then my heart is glad. The king was happy to
hear the thoughts of the United States’ President.

�I approve of the children’s anger towards that dark flag, for that is how I feel when I look
at Lord G. Paulet. Some may have made his acquaintenance, but I did not meet him while he was
anchored here. When he first met with the king, I was in distress, and when the king sailed out to
the ship, I was sad and my food had no taste. Then when the king returned from the ship and I
heard the actions of those on board, my sadness was over. That is how I felt when he started to
meet at the king's place to demand his wishes for the king to fulfill. Therefore, I wrote to the king
about the messages in Proverbs 7, 2, 5, and the king prevailed because he attained none of his
wishes.
I did not meet with the chiefs at this point, because of the short time before the ship sailed
to you folks. But I quickly asked Kapena, the secretary, concerning our
[Page 4 of 4]
actions that you had indicated to discuss with the chiefs. He said the Minister, Mr. Judd should
address those things. But I will investigate that here in the coming days.
There is this too, that Mr. Kekina has repeatedly asked me about my stay and the work
that brought me to stay here during these days. Contemplating those repeated questions, he
seems uncertain as to why I am staying here, and he perhaps thinks that I and my work here are
to help the king. That may be what he thinks and if it is, that is up to him.
The chiefs seem comfortable when I observe or speak with them, but I do not know their
insides. I am waiting for a message from my friend and then I will know when to return. Because
one thought is to stay here until the French warship comes, but that might not be appropriate.
From me, your fellow laborer
Ioane Ii

Translation:
[Page 1 of 4]
Greetings to the two of you, Mr. Amos S. Cooke and Mrs. Cooke,
I just heard last night from Konia that Makaeha is still sick these days, it was in
Kalaimoku’s letter to her. It came on the Kinau, which came into port yesterday.
I met with Mr. Gilman on Sunday morning of last week, I heard from him that Mrs.
Cooke is sick again. I supposed it was a relapse, like I saw last year. Mine was a human's
mistaken assumption and it turns out to be something quite different. Regarding her, I think she
is a greatly beloved child, for
[Page 2 of 4]
little-loved children are seldom struck. This Mr. Gilman has now gone back. I met with him for
three hours where I live and because he was a visitor I directed him to sleep here because he was
apart from the others, but it was like a fish bone lodged in my throat, because of what you and
Sarai told me, and that was just how it was in my mind. And because the Consul came to get him
as evening fell to go to his house, we then parted. I directed him to come back here to sleep if he
needed to, he did not come back. And before he went he ordered me to give him something
[Page 3 of 4]

�for him to do there, but I did not give him anything to do because I was choking as though it was
a bone.
I exist here only in body, as my thoughts and deeds go to you folks there every day, to the
children and the teachers and to the caretaker of the children because of her working alone in her
pursuits. And because there are so few problems there that have been reported to me, just Mrs.
Cooke by herself, my thoughts are light. However, it is indeed very painful when one member in
the work that we are doing experiences misfortune. Truly, the body is dysfunctional when one of
its limbs is injured. And what of Lord G. Paulet, he probably being the one who cast me out so
that we live apart now. Is he long gone? Did he anchor again?
Regards to all of you,
From Ioane Ii

To Mr Amos S Kuke.
Honolulu
Notes:
1. Mr Amos S. Kuke ma - Mr. and Mrs. Amos Starr Cooke were missionaries with the eighth
company who went on to lead the Chiefs’ Children’s School, their location at the time of
this letter.
2. Konia - Laura Kanaholo Kōnia and her husband Abner Pākī were the parents of Bernice
Pauahi Bishop and the hānai (adoptive) parents of Lydia Kamakaʻeha, who later ruled the
Hawaiian Kingdom as Queen Liliʻuokalani. Kōnia and Pākī both served as members of
the House of Nobles at the time of this letter.
3. Makaeha - This is a shortened version of Kamakaʻeha, one of the names of Liliʻuokalani.
She was under the care of Kōnia and Pākī at the time of this letter, thus the mention of
her health.
4. Kalaimoku - This refers to William Pitt Leleiōhoku, son of Kalanimoku and a member of
the house of nobles.
5. Kinau - The Kīnaʻu was a ship that moved cargo and passengers between the islands.
6. Mr Galuman - Gorham D. Gilman was a businessman in Honolulu and was present at the
time of the Paulet affair. He moved to Boston, Massachusetts in the 1860s where he was
named the Hawaiian Consul General in the mid-1890s.
7. Sarai - Sarai Hiwauli was the first wife of John Papa ʻĪʻī and helped Mr. and Mrs. Cooke
care for the royal students at the Chiefs’ Children’s School.

�8. ke Kanikele - Literally “the Consul,” this likely refers to Alexander Simpson, who was
appointed by Richard Charlton to replace him as British Consul to the Kingdom of
Hawaiʻi, an appointment rejected by Kamehameha III.
9. Haku G. Paulet - Lord George Paulet was the British Naval Captain of the HMS
Carysfort who belligerently occupied the Hawaiian Kingdom from February to July of
1843.

Greetings to you Balawina,
I left to come here to Honolulu on the 6th with the intention to return on Keoua today, but
G.P. Judd asked me to stay and maybe return on the Paalua in these next few days. When the
Paalua arrives from Kauai, that is the day I will sail there. There is a warship from your
homeland, coming from China. On the 7th it will arrive. An officer for the The Boston, the
Captain of that ship, scorned the actions of Lord Paulet, or so I heard from some foreigners down
in Honolulu. That ship may have 54 guns. Give me a copy of the English you translated
[Page 2 of 4]
from the king's statement to Lord Paulet. G.P. Judd wants it because I just brought all the
statements of Lord Paulet here on Oahu.
Regards to you and your wife,
From Ioane Ii

For Balawina the Reverend
Lahaina
Maui
Notes:

�1. Ioane Ii - John Papa ʻĪʻī began his service in the royal court when he served as an
attendant to Kalanikualiholiho, Kamehameha II. Īʻī later became a trusted advisor and
chief in the court of Kauikeaouli, Kamehameha III and continued to serve the sovereigns
of Hawaiʻi until his death in 1870.
2. Balawina - Rev. Dwight Baldwin came to Hawaiʻi in 1831 with the fourth company of
missionaries and resided on Maui.
3. G.P. Judd - Dr. Gerrit Parmele Judd was a member of the third company of missionaries
and a medical doctor. He resigned from the mission in 1842 to work for the Hawaiian
government, and was working as a translator and diplomatic liaison at the time of this
letter.
4. Lord Paulet - Lord George Paulet of Great Britain landed the HBMS Carysfort in
Honolulu on February 11, 1843 and proceeded to make demands and threaten the
government for compliance, causing Kamehameha III to temporarily yield his authority
to Paulet's rule.

[Page 1 of 2]
I have received, given me by Levi Kamalani, thirty-six dollars; these dollars are for Paki
regarding a debt on the part of Mr. Gulick. He had a promissary note that he gave to Paki, but it
was lost, so if said note should be found later it is of no import, because the money has been
obtained. This is the clarifying document.

Anthony Ten Eyck
Content Summary:
John ʻĪʻī expresses to Commissioner Ten Eyck his objections to a proposed treaty.
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 &amp; not to be always
in trouble.
Give us a treaty that will present
peace &amp; 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

Greetings to you,
I have received your letter from the hand of Maawe, and saw the statements there, and we
have acted on it. Maawe has been released as newspaper delivery supervisor because of his
infirmity.
We still do not have his replacement, so on the first Friday of next January, I will send a
boy of mine to the Kuokoa office for this, and we will have an appropriate person to do this job
in the future, along with the names of the subscribers in each area.
With appreciation

Greetings to you,
Today this boy finishes fetching newspapers, and Kamakahonu will be the one to to go
get them. He will begin two Fridays from now. He has received 43 dollars through his deliveries,
but his wages are not to be paid in hand if I do not arrive with the remaining 3 dollars. That is
what I report to the two of you.
With thanks,

Notes:
1. J. Ii - John Papa ‘Ī‘ī (1800-1870) had many roles in the Kingdom of Hawaii, and was writing
a column for the newspaper Ka Nupepa Kuokoa about Hawaiian history, parts of which were
later published in English as “Fragments of Hawaiian History,” for which ‘Ī‘ī is well known
today.
2. W. Chamberlain - Warren Chamberlain, son of missionary Levi Chamberlain, handled the
accounts of the Nupepa Kuokoa.
3. nei keiki - It appears ʻĪʻī is referring to himself when he says nei keiki, "this boy," being the
one who picks up the newspapers.
4. Kamakahonu - The person who is already delivering papers and will begin to pick them up
from the office in place of ʻĪʻī. No other information is known.

Waiawa, August 9, 1869
W. Chamberlain
Greetings to you,
I received your letter and the amount of money in your hands. It seems, however,
that the money for the newspaper is unclear in your report. But I received your receipt for
the bibles that was paid at the Kuokoa office on June 2, 1869.
3
2.00
6.00
Nupepa Kuokoa
2.00
$8.00

�Because of this, I was surprised that perhaps you had not received the other newspaper
monies, because the Kuokoa delivery boy
[Page 2 of 2, left side]
previously brought, in his hand, 27 dollars to Joseph Kawainui. A receipt was not
obtained from him for those dollars delivered by hand.
The second delivery was 9.00, and that money was probably received by you, but
I have looked for that receipt and it was not found, but maybe later. The total is:
27
9
2
$38.00
$5.00 Here in my hands
$43.00 The total from the delivery by this boy, and this boy is now retiring.
[Page 2 of 2, right side]
Regarding this, discuss with Ios. Kawainui about that 27.00 dollars lest it disappear
completely.
With appreciation,
John Ii
Notes:
1. Ioane Ii - John Papa ‘Ī‘ī (1800-1870) had many roles in the Kingdom of Hawaii, and
was writing a column for the newspaper Ka Nupepa Kuokoa about Hawaiian history,
parts of which were later published in English as “Fragments of Hawaiian History,”
for which ‘Ī‘ī is well known today.
2. W. Chamberlain - Warren Chamberlain, son of missionary Levi Chamberlain,
handled the accounts of the newspaper Ka Nupepa Kuokoa.
3. Ios. Kawainui - Joseph U. Kawainui (c.1841-1895), born in Hana, Maui and educated
at Royal School in Honolulu, was trained in printing at Lahainaluna. He became coeditor and editor of the Kuokoa newspaper for a number of years.

Hon. John Ii
Waiawa 15 Dec. 1869
To the chairman of the Island Ministerial Conference
Greetings to all of you
Because of my problem with insufficient time to edit a copy or copies of the
historical fragments for our newspaper, copies that might meet the wishes of one from the
Supreme Court, according to what he had earlier commanded of me this past month. I am
supposed to send it to him next Friday. And as to things and
[Page 3 of 4]
folks of this district, their vigor has diminished in the services and Sunday school, but
those services have continued to this time.
Volunteers have decreased as well, but no commotion or arguing is heard. Also
the disagreement between myself and J. Kahauolono concerning the book is over, and we
get along fine.
There have not been many deaths, and there have been 19 healthy births, while 9
have died. Some are pregnant – perhaps 19.
There is not much drunkenness, only very little, and it is the same for awa
intoxication. It is not certain
[Page 4 of 4]
when these ways will end, and the same with pagan ways and such. But the Lord is the
one who knows all.
Also, if some item or items are considered for the days ahead, they can be seen in
our newspaper.
Additionally, I have continually pressed for the outstanding debts of the
subscribers, 52 dollars. This should be submitted before the stated deadline – it is 53
total, and I have one dollar in hand. If the subscribers are amenable, they will pay in full,
and thus the remainders shall be brought in.
With love, your speaker,
J. Ii
