O Baldwin,
I am informing you that the pain of Auhea’s abscess has increased. There is more
pus on the skin. The ointment for that ailment was applied because of itching. This is my
message and a [request] to you. Come down and attend to her today. That is my word to
you.
Notes:
1. C. Kanaina - This name is written in the upper right hand corner of the letter in a
different hand.
2. Palauwina/Palawina - Rev. Dwight Baldwin came to Hawaiʻi in 1831 with the
fourth company of missionaries and resided on Maui.
3. Kanaina - Charles Kanaʻina was a man of chiefly lineage who married Miriam
Kekāuluohi (referred to as Auhea in this letter). Their son, Willian Charles
Lunalilo, was the sixth monarch of the Hawaiian Kingdom.
4. Auhea - This is one of the names of Miriam Kekāuluohi, wife of Charles Kanaʻina
and mother of William Charles Lunalilo.

Listen, Mr. Chamberlain,
�I am requesting from you shoes for my boy, David. He is lacking any shoes. If you would
furnish them, let me know the amount of money you would like.
Charles Kanaina
Notes:
1. Mi Kamalani - Mr. Levi Chamberlain was a member of the second company of
missionaries, superintendent of secular affairs for the mission and served as a
missionary teacher.
2. David - In his 1874 book "The Friend, Or, Advocate of Truth," M.T.C. Gould
references David as a first son of Kanaʻina and Kekāuluohi who died young, and
this could be a reference to him. It could also possibly refer to David Kalākaua,
later the seventh sovereign of the kingdom, who was a student at the Chiefs’
Children’s School in Honolulu and not directly related to Charles Kanaʻina.
3. Charles Kanaina - Charles Kanaʻina was a man of chiefly lineage who married
Miriam Kekāuluohi. Their son, William Charles Lunalilo, was the sixth monarch
of the Hawaiian Kingdom.

Jos. Kawainui
Greetings to you,
The youth who fetches the newspapers is coming with a dollar and an eighth for some
guide books for Hawaiian hymns, because Maraia Ii is going to take up this position.
The number of Sunday school books is not known at this time, for I have not spoken with
the Sunday school teachers. We are striving to advance that good work, but it has been slow,
because of low enrollment of children and adults alike. It is due to lack of faith as well, so nails
and hammers have been promised to them in recent days.
with thanks,
J. I. Kaninau

I mentioned to you previously that the Sunday School teachers wanted Sunday School
books free of charge, and will give them out in that manner.
Here it is, and we will see. If there are enough books for them to divide out, then it is
possible; but if there are not enough, then whatever is in hand, and you be the one to clarify.
21 dollars has been received for the Kuokoa, and 29 dollars is outstanding. If paid before
July comes, then [I] will initially turn in what has been received.

announce these charges at this next Sunday morning [service], because July is almost here.
Because I have been so busy these past 3 weeks, the rolling of issue 4 is not complete,

Letter from Kaawaloa
Kapiolani
Kuapehu
Addressed to Jan. 17, 1840
Samuel Ruggles
Greetings to you two.
Here is a thought for you two to tell
of the works of these years. Great has
been the love of the Lord these years.
A great many persons have been converted in His church, because of his love
to us.
Furthermore, one of our tasks has
been the building of a church which is
completed in some respects, but not in
other respects. It is our thought however to finish it, because it is perhaps not comfortable for the physical
well-being of our teacher to have a
house almost standing on edge.
Where are you? You must send
forth the love to us, the needy persons, because it is not the thought
of the unenlightened land for goodness,

of some persons and some persons have
been zealous. If the Lord knows it
is right, there is a school of Kamakelua at Kuapehu here.

you two, be strong in prayer for us
that we may dwell together in a good
place, so your dwelling may desire
to meet together in a good place.
Receive love in your hearts,
our brethren, is my thought of love
for all the brethren in America.
�Here is my thought to you, there is
no disagreeable place to be made
over to you. Here I am at Kuapehu
at the present time. Next Sunday
I shall return.
Mr. and Mrs. Forbes are strong in
the works of the Lord, weak at times
and at other times strong.
We have a new teacher - Mr. Ivesso the Lord has not left us now.
We are thinking of some definite task
for physical welfare – planting sugarcane and the mill is working and
planting cotton of which we are not sure
Coffee is being planted again. If it
rains hard there will not be a big
crop and the work of no value.
It is best for you to write me
again some good news that there
may be growth at Kuapehu here

3 Why do you two not write me.
Write me, you two.
Hale sends love. Samuel sends
love. Naihe sends love. Our mother
sends love.
You sail back here and return
again.
Great is the work which our
teacher is striving to do here, assisting in the new - monthly offering
for the school - teacher - this is for
the women to do. The men have
another task - to keep up the church
building with the deficiencies
within the ministry of the Lord.

Kaawaloa, Kuapehu, January 17, 1840
Greetings to the two of you, Reverend and Mrs. Ruggles,
�Here is a message to you two to tell of the events of these years. The love of the
Lord has been great in these years, converting many persons to his church through his
love for us. Here too, a church was one of our endeavors. Parts of it are complete and
others are not. The intention is, however, to complete it, for our teacher might not find
physical comfort in a house that is bad, or might get sick. Listen, all of you, generate
some compassion for us, those in need, for the minds of those in the land of ignorance
have not matured to know righteousness, but the Lord sees the fruition of some, and
others truly strive, so if the Lord sees it, that is good. There is also this: Namakelua is
holding school here at Kuapehu. Also, all the chiefs have died; Kinau passed away,
Lililiha died, Hoapili Kane has died, Keano is dead. I beseech you two to pray diligently
for us so we may all live together in a good place. Thus I abide, yearning to
[Page 2 of 7]
meet together in a good place. Listen, both of you, you should generate love in the hearts
of the brethren with my message. An expression of affection is my message to all of the
brethren in America. Here is another message for you two, that I have no bundle to send
to the two of you, it remains here in Kuapehu. On Sunday, I will go down and come back
when that is done. All of you should know that Mr. Forbes and his wife are diligent in the
work of the Lord, tender sometimes and forceful at other times. We also have new
teachers, Mr. Ives and others, so the Lord has not deserted us here. Also, we have plans
we are working on for our livelihood. We have planted sugar cane and the mill is
processing, we planted cotton, but it is not certain. We are planting coffee again. The
grape vines did not bear much fruit due to improper cultivation. You should write to me
again about other good crops to plant so things flourish again here in Kuapehu.
[Page 3 of 7]
Why are you two not writing to me? You should both write. Hale sends regards, Kamuela
sends regards, Naihe sends regards, our mother/aunt sends regards. Say, you should sail
here again and then return there. There are great efforts that our teacher is striving to do.
Assisting in the new garden for the school teachers, that is up to the women, and as for
the men, there is firewood for the church and other needs within the works of the Lord.
Kapiolani
Love to all the people

Samuel Ruggles. "Keiki mā" refers to Samuel Ruggles and company, in this case,
probably his wife, Nancy Wells Ruggles.
2. Namakelua - Nāmakelua's background is not known, but he appears to have been
running a school at Kuapehu.
3. Kinau, Lililiha, Hoapili kane, Keano - Kīnaʻu, Lililiha (Liliha), Hoapilikāne, and
Keano were all ranking chiefs of that time, all of whom had passed away prior to
this letter.

eighth company in 1837 and served at the mission station of Kaʻawaloa, South
Kona.
6. crops - A concerted effort was made in the islands to expand agriculture and
support the livelihood of the people. In this letter, Kapiʻolani mentions sugar
cane, cotton, coffee and grapes and requests recommendations of other crops.
7. ka makuahine o kakou - This reference to "our mother/aunt" is uncertain, but
apparently refers to an older, ranking woman familiar to all, possibly Kekāuluohi,
the Kuhina Nui, or regent, at the time of this letter.

San Francisco
10th October 1849
My Dear Sir,
As the Doctor and Alexander
has written all their letters for the Islands
I thought I ^would write a few lines to you
because the ship leave to morrow at an
early hour and having many other
letters to write to our friends at home
I cannot but scratch scratch a few lines.
We arrived here on the 1st October
after a passage of 21 days and two days
after the steamer left for Panama,
we were greatly disappointed in finding
her gone, and we are waiting here till a
we can obtain an opportunity for going
down to Panama. Wonder there is no
chance of going one before the first of the
November.
On arriving here we first
stopped at the United States Hotel, but we
did not make a very long stay there,
but while we were ^there we were quite satisfied
seeing all what San Francisco can boast
�and that is their gambling house tables
[Page 2 of 4]
And we have removed ^here to the American
House kept by Mr. Merrill & Beach.
We find it a better lodging from the
other hotel, we pay $21.00 a week for
board and lodging.
For the first four days we arrived
here we had a very pleasant weather
but for the two days past we have
had rain and foggy weather. Our
house not being quite finished leaks
a great deal in one part of this house.
Yesterday it rained all day so we
were obliged to stay in the house all
day, our room leaking we found is
rather uncomfortable. We found it
quite cold though the Doctor feels it
more than we do, he been wrapped
up in his blanket blanket all day.
On our arrival here Mr. Eames
the American Commissioner called
on us. We are boarding together
here, from all what we have
seen of him, I think he is very
[Page 3 of 4]
gentlemanly man. The Doctor have had several
communications with him.
We are all enjoying a very good health though
the Doctor is troubled with little cold.
Yesterday the Steamer California arrived here
from Panama, she brought no mail.
Most of the merchants here quite disappointed
in not finding the mail, and most of them
were quite angry. However few papers have
arrived. I have not read it but I seen some
of the papers in our room for our perusal.
You very kindly offered your service
to take any letter from me to Miss Bernice
�when we left, if I have any to write I
will send it to your care, as you have
always have treated me and brother as a
father. I dont feel backkward at all in
calling you, is what a very awkward position
I am placed wi^th to her. To tell you the truth
I was engaged to her before I left the school
but my conduct upon leaving that establishment
[Page 4 of 4]
was so lose that she has given up the thought of
ever being united to me. I hope you will keep
this news to yourself and believe me again I am
Your sincere prince
Lot Kamehameha

American Hotel
San Francisco
October 31st 1849
My dear Mr. Bates,
Sir,
It is so late to night
& I have been writing all day & most of
all my time has been occupied this two
days past that I cannot but write
you a few lines to-night as I want
to finish up all my letters to-night for
the Islands, and to-morrow leave San
Francisco on the Steamer California. Capt
Budd for Panama. The Doctor knows him
very well having seen him at the Islands
in the Exploring Expedition.
Nothing of any importance has taken
place since I wrote you last worthy
of leting you know, except if I would say
of our we attending several times in the Square here
at the Democratic Meeting for electing a senator
& representatives to the congress, and a
Governor for San Francisco. It was quite
�[Page 2 of 4]
an interesting time there, seeing that it was
first time that we ever saw, the people
of foreign country electing officers.
We have seen the Commodore Jones since
I wrote you last, and have been occupied
pretty much in visiting for the Governments
and the Doctor has done much some in favor
of his mission, in making a Treaty here
with Mr Eames, the Commissioner for the
Islands from the United States.
Though he dont expect to go to the Islands
because he expects to be superseded by another
^person and so he expects to stop here till he hears
from the United States.
I think he has received letters
from the United States, seeing that the
Steamer brought in the mail to-night.
I send with your letter here one
for Miss Bernice and my sister, please
take the trouble, to see if they have any
letters to write for me, & please direct them
to Scheyler Livingston Esq New York.
Please remember me to Mr Bates & all
the family, and believe me your sincere son
Lot Kamehameha
[Page 3 of 4]
P.S. I called on Messrs Steward & Co and enquired if
you had a box there, and they said no, and at the
Expreso office which is in the same building.
