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,
From Kaaukai

Oahu, Waipio,
Mr. Chamberlain, greetings to you,
Here is my message to you, provide Alphabet Primers for me, 40 Alphabet Primers. I have now
gotten my students; I have acquired 40. Perhaps eventually there will be many students. You
folks should provide 40 alphabet primers here. We are exhorting the commoners in the message
of salvation so that they properly hear the word of God. My heart rejoices at them turning to the
word of God. Regards to Mr. Loomis and his wife, and regards to you all.

Do work on my feathers until complete,

during this era for teaching literacy.

first printer in Hawai‘i. His wife, Maria, also accompanied him to Hawaiʻi.
4. James Kahuhu – James Kahuhu was educated with the chiefs, part of the first group to learn
English and written Hawaiian. He became a teacher of literacy and Christianity.
5. hulumanu – Hulu manu, or bird feather, could refer to a quill pen or a feather lei; the

Oahu, Waipio. May 27th, 1826
I have seen the letter that you wrote. I have received the knives, I received 10
knives.
Here is my word to you, I am preaching the word of God to the people of this
place, the word of the Lord, so that they will properly know the grace of God. Here is my
other message to you. Address the nature of the fourteen signs so that we know the nature
of those words of God. Do send over more spelling primers for me. The people of this
place greatly desire the written word. There are many students here: many men, women
and children. Here is another message to you. Tell me about the people at the beginning
of Genesis, in section five or section four. Write that text to me so that I know it well.
Also the tenth section, tell me about those two sections.
You must tell Mr. H. Bingham to tell me of the laws that you still have.
[Page 2 of 2]
And when you know, tell me the laws that remain with you so that my statements to the
unenlightened ones are correct.

�Do give me some hymnals, five hymnals for me. I currently do not have any
hymnals. Give my regards to Mr. Bingham. I am here doing what he wishes, so do tell
him. Here is another message to you. What was the transgression for which Moses died?
Tell me of his death so that I know the transgression for which he died. Also with the
wrong for which David died, do tell me.
Regards to Mr. Loomis, Richards, Samuel Kanae and Poupou.

Notes:
1. Mr. Chamberlain – 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. beaba - The pīʻāpā was the Hawaiian word referring to the spelling primers that
were used to teach literacy.
3. H. Bingham - Rev. Hiram Bingham arrived with the pioneer company of
missionaries.
4. pauku - This term was originally used to refer to either the chapter or verse of the
Bible, which was being translated at the time of this letter. Today mokuna is
consistently used for chapter and paukū for verse.
5. ina kanawa i - I nā kānāwai, translated here as "the laws," could be a reference to
the Ten Commandments of the Bible, or to the book of Deuteronomy, which was
eventually translated into Hawaiian as Kānāwailua.
6. James Kahuhu - James Kahuhu was educated with the chiefs and was among the
first group to learn English and written Hawaiian. He became a teacher of literacy
and Christianity.

Greetings to you, Mr. Chamberlain,
I am currently preaching to students, one lau (four hundred) of students, and one
additional kanaha (forty) along with twenty-seven: 467.
Here is my message to you; I am striving on my own. I preach to students and to
those who are seeking some portion of God's word, which I have acquired. That which I
have obtained from all of you is what I am teaching to the students. I have sought no
other text;
[Page 2 of 2]
the word of God is what I preach to them. The will of our Lord is what I do.
Mr. Chamberlain
Oahu
Kawaiahao
I maintain his love in my heart and his patience with me while preaching of God's
will. I repent my breaking of God's laws. I love Him. May we gain salvation through
Jesus.
James Kahuhu
Notes:
1. Mr. Chamberlain – Mr. Levi Chamberlain was a member of the second company
of missionaries, the superintendent of secular affairs for the mission and served as
a missionary teacher.
2. lau – Kahuhu uses a traditional numbering system. A lau is considered to be four
hundred (400). The Hawaiian traditional numbering system was based in units of
four, forty and four-hundred, etc.
3. James Kahuhu – James Kahuhu was one of the first people who learned English
and written Hawaiian with the high chiefs. He later became a teacher of literacy
and Christianity.

To you, L. H. Gulick,
Greetings to you,

�The great story, Pikoiakaalala, is coming. It is being brought over, and you can include it in our
paper. In this story, some errors were corrected, parts that were defective and parts that were out
of place.
However, it is not complete. Later on I will write more and will
disclose my name.
P. Kahuhu, Foreman
Heeia Uli February 16, 1866
Notes:
1. P. Kahuhu – P. Kahuhu was the foreman of the government pound in Heʻeia, Oʻahu. He

published in Ka Nupepa Kuokoa under the name S.M. Kaui.
2. L.H. Kulika – Rev. Luther Halsey Gulick was an ordained reverend and a Hawai‘i-born
son of American missionary Peter Gulick. He was the editor of the newspaper Ka Nupepa
Kuokoa at the time of this letter.

[Page 1 of 3]
To
The Reverend W.E. Clerk
Dear Sir,
I am informed
that you are the owner of a
piece of land named “Kukuluaeo”
situated near the South ex=
treme part of Honolulu and
now in charge of P. Naone.
I would like to be the
purchaser of said land
and would give five
[Page 2 of 3]
hundred $500.00 dollars
as a fair price for the
land. The land as you
are aware is an unimproved
property and it is my
intention to turn it into a
paddock for horses. The
manufacture of salt has

�been less productive and
the yield small owing to
the abundance of rain which
^has lasted even up to the time I
write, and the low price of
salt.
[Page 3 of 3]
You will please give
my kind aloha to
Mrs. Clerk ame na
Hoa Aloha.
Kalakaua
June 29 1876
