Notes:
1. Mi Kuke - Amos Starr Cooke was a member of the eighth company of missionaries sent
to Hawaiʻi by the A.B.C.F.M., arriving in 1837. He was appointed headmaster of the
Chiefs' Children's School in 1839 at the request of the king and the chiefs. His wife,
Juliette Montague Cooke, worked with him to establish and operate the school.
2. Kauka- Dr. Gerrit Parmele Judd, known as Kauka, was a member of the 3rd company
of missionaries, arriving in Hawaiʻi in 1828. A medical doctor by training, he became
an important advisor to the king and the government, holding a number of official
positions and resigning from the mission in 1842 to become a translator and recorder
for the Hawaiian government.
3. Kamehameha III - Kauikeaouli was the second royal son of Kamehameha Paiʻea. As
Kamehameha III, he ruled the Hawaiian Kingdom from 1825 to 1854.
4. Hoapili - Hoapilikāne, also known as Ulumeheihei, was a chief in the royal court of
Kamehameha I. Because of his close kinship with Kamehameha, Ulumeheihei was
dubbed Hoapili, or close friend, as a title of endearment.
5. Kekauluohi - Miriam ʻAuhea Kekāuluohi, mother of William Charles Lunalilo, became
the Kuhina Nui or regent of the Hawaiian Kingdom in 1839, taking on the name
Kaʻahumanu III.

Great regards to you, Baldwin
�I received your letter and I have received one forty-piece bundle of mamaki tapa. You
two were gracious in reporting to me your needs. I have no intention of selling these, because of
my great affection for you two.
From Kamehameha III

For Baldwin
Notes:
1. Baluina - Rev. Dwight Baldwin came to Hawaiʻi in 1831 with the fourth company of
missionaries and resided on Maui, stationed at Waineʻe Church.
2. iako - ʻIako is the number forty, particularly used in counting pieces of tapa.
3. mamaki - Māmaki is a mulberry-like tree (Pipturus albidus), the bark of which was used
to make tapa. The word mamaki in the letter likely refers to the tapa itself rather than the
tree.
4. Kamehameha III - Kauikeaouli was the second son of Kamehameha I and Keōpūolani
and ascended the throne in 1825 as Kamehameha III. He was the longest ruling of the
Hawaiian monarchs, and was king at the time of this letter.

1842_Sep01_Mallet-Kauikeaouli
Date of Letter:
September 1, 1842
From:
Mallet [Captain S. Mallet]
To:
Kauikeaouli [Kamehameha III]
Content Summary:
Captain Mallet of the French ship Embuscade writes to Kauikeaouli regarding the treatment of
Roman Catholics and French citizens in the Hawaiian Kingdom, reminding him of specific
articles of the treaties with France signed on the 12th and 17th of July.
Typescript:
[Page 1 of 4]
Sloop of war Embuscade

Harbor of Honolulu
Sep 1 1842
Sir;
I have the honor to inform your majesty
that since the treaties of July 12th & 17th 1839 French citizens & ministers of the catholic religion have been insulted & subjected to divers unjust measures, concerning
which your Majesty has not probably been informed.
Subordinate agents, ignorant or ill dishonest & without any special order from government have thrown
down churches, threatened the priests & compelled
their disciples to attend protestant places of worship & protestant schools. To effect this they have
employed a course of treatment repulsive to humanity, notwithstanding the treaty of July 12th signed
by your Majesty & the commandments of the French
Frigate Artemise, grants free exercise to the
Catholic religion & an equal protection to its
ministers.
Persuaded that your Majesty has no intention
that treaties entered into with good sincerity and
�good faith should be annulled & also that it is
incumbent on you to treat all religions with
[Page 2 of 4]
favor; therefore I shall demand that you will adopt
such measures as shall defend the adherents of the
Catholic faith from all future vexations.
I demand this of your Majesty,
1. That a catholic high school with the same
privileges as the high school at Lahainaluna
be immediately acknowledged & that a lot
of land be granted to it by government according to promise.
2nd. That the catholic schools be under the exclusive supervision of catholic Kahu Kula’s (inspectors) nominated by Kahunas (priests) of the
same faith & approved by your Majesty; & that
the Kahu Kula’s enjoy without infraction all the privileges granted by the law.
3rd. That the Kahunas have power to fill tempo-rarily all vacancies that may occur in consequen
ce of the death, absence, or loss of office of any of the
Kahu Kula’s.
4th. That for the future, permission to marry
be given by catholics nominated by the Kahunas
& approved always by the government of your
majesty; & that in case of absence, death or loss
[Page 3 of 4]
of office, the Kahunas have power provisionally to
grant permission themselves.
5th. That hereafter Catholics be not forced to labour
upon schools or churches of a different faith & that
the relations of children who may embrace the Catholic religion be not ill treated on this account.
6th. That severe punishment be inflicted upon
every individual whatever may be his rank or
condition who shall destroy a catholic church
or school or insult the ministers of this religion.
Furthermore I demand of your Majesty that
�you will confirm to the French mission the land
which was given it by Boki when regent of the Kingdom, which land has always been considered as
belonging to said mission; and also that you legalize the purchase of land made by his Lordship
the Bishop of Nicopolis, by a sanction which will
confirm it to his Lordship & to his heirs forever
I will not conclude what relates to
the catholic clergy without praying your Majesty to give me proof that the Abbe Maigret has
signed a writing, by which he acknowledges
himself a British subject. Should this prove
[Page 4 of 4]
a mere calumny invented for the purpose of ruining a French priest in the
estimation of the inhabitants of these isles & in that of your
Majesty, I demand that the author of this calumny
John Ii, the Inspector general retract in writing, declaring either that he lied about it, or that he was
deceived. As a Frenchman, I deem it important to
be fully satisfied on this point.
There is still another subject, concerning which
I must demand some explanation of your Majesty.
According to article 6th of the treaty of July 17th French wines & spirits
were to be admited into the islands of your government on paying
a duty of 5 percent. Was it not for the purpose of eluding this article not to say of violating it) that the sale of brandy has been
limited to a certain number of gallons?
I cannot prevent your Majesty from enacting such laws
as the prosperity & well being of your subjects seem to you
to demand, but I consider it my duty to inquire how you
can reconcile the 6th article of the treaty of July 17th with the
last law concerning the sale of spirits in the islands of
your Kingdom. It would give me great pleasure to be
informed on this subject in order to make my report
to the Admiral, Commander in chief of the French forces
in the ocean, that he may decide upon such a course
as he shall judge expedient for the maintenance
of the treaties & of our national dignity.
I have the honor to be with the most profound
respect, sir
�Your majesty’s
Very humble servant
(signed)
S. Mallet
Capt of the Sloop of war Embuscade
Notes:
1. Sloop of war Embuscade - A French Frigate ship that was in port in Honolulu at the time
of this letter.
2. French Frigate Artemise - A French Frigate ship, commanded by Captain La Place
arrived in Honolulu and demanded, by threat of war, fair treatment for French subjects.
This led to Kamehameha III issuing an Edict of Tolerance that allowed for religious
freedom.
3. Abbe Maigret - Father Louis Desire Maigret came to Hawaiʻi to establish the Catholic
religion in 1831.
4. S. Mallet - Captain of a French sloop-of-war, Embuscade, arrived in Honolulu on August
24, 1842. He was here under orders by Admiral Du Petit-Thouars as a result of
complaints that the treaty signed between Captain Laplace and Kamehameha II was being
violated and Catholics were still being treated unfairly by native authorities.

Typescript:
[Page 1 of 4]
48
Honolulu, Oahu Sep 4. 1842
To S. Mallet, captain of the French
ship of war Embuscade, Greeting
We have received your letter dated
the 1st inst. and with our council assembled
have deliberated thereon & we are happy to receive
your testimony that if there are instances of
difficulty or abuse in these islands, they are
not authorized by this government and we
assure you that we hold in high estimation
the government of France and all its estimable subjects. It is the firm determination
of our government to observe the treaties with
all nations, but the written laws are a new
code thing, the people are ignorant and good
order can only be preserved on the part of
the government by affording the protection
of the laws to all who will appeal to them
at the proper tribunals
On the introduction of the Roman
Catholic religion it was understood
�that tolleration was to be fully allowed
to its priests & all its disciples & this has been done
as far as lay in our power & no one can
[Page 2 of 4]
prove to the contrary. But it is impossible to put
a stop to disputes & contentions between rival religions & the evils & complaints which result from them.
The laws favor literature & as soon as the French
priests are ready to found a high school for the purpose
of imparting it to their pupils and teachers are
ready, it shall find a location.
The school laws were formed to promote education
in these islands and not sectarianism; and
no one should ask the government that they
be altered to favor any particular sect. Any
man qualified for teaching, being of a good moral
character, is entitled to a teachers diploma,
this by reason of his acquiremens not his
sect. No priest of either sect can give diploma's. Likewise marriage is regulated by law and
no priest of either sects can perform the ceremoney, except the parties obtain a certificate from the governor or his officers; and why
should the laws be altered? Difficulties often arise
on the subject and we should regulate our
own people.
The laws require the people to labour on certain
days; some for the government and some for the
[Page 3 of 4]
landlords, to whom the labour is due according to law,
and the kind of labour is regulated by those to
whom the labour is due.
The laws are not fully established in all parts of
the islands and probably an ancient custom has
been practiced by which the owner of land would
pull down the house of one who built thereon without
his cheerful consent; but if the owner of the house
complains to the judges they should grant a trial,
�& if no satisfaction is obtained, then the governor
will grant a trial; and if no satisfaction is
obtained that decision is unjust, an appeal
must be made to the supreme judges who will
sit twice a year.
The ground occupied by the French priests
in Honolulu is held by the same tenor^ure as that
of the priests of Protestant religions and
some other foreigners & negotiations have been commenced which it is to be hoped will give equal justice
to all.
When John Ii arrived from Kauai that case will be
adjusted and if he denies the charge which you have represented a trial will be granted.
Please do us the favor to assure the Admiral that
[Page 4 of 4]
the present laws do not contravene the 6th article of the
treaty of the 17th of July. Brandy & wines are freely admited here and if any one wishes a license to retail spirits,
he may procure one by applying to the proper officers.
Those who retail spirits without license are liable
to punishment. Please inform him also that
we have sent ministers to the King of France
to beg of him a new treaty between us and
France.
Accept for yourself the assurance
of our respect & our salutations,
Signed
Kamehameha III

[Page 1 of 2]
Kamehameha III
Of the Hawaiian Islands, Hawaii, Maui, Molokai,
Lanai, Oahu, Kauai, and Nihau, King sends greeting
to all chiefs of the Islands in their great ocean to the
westward called the “Caroline Islands,” “Kingsmill Group”
&c. Peace & hapiness to you all now & forever.
Here is my friendly message to you. There are
about to sail for your islands, some teachers of the
Most High God, Jehovah, to make known unto you his
word, for your eternal salvation. A part of them are
white men from the United States of America, and a
part of them belong to my islands. Their names are
as follows: B.G. Snow & Wife, A.A. Sturges & wife,
L.H. Gulick & wife, E.W. Clark, J.T.Gulick, Opunui
& wife, Kaaikaula & wife, and Kekela. H. Holdsworth
is Captain of the vessel.
I therefore take the liberty to commend these good
teachers to your care & friendship; to exhort you to listen
to their instructions, & to seek their acquaintance. I have
seen the value of such teachers. We here on my
islands once lived in ignorance & idolatry. We were
given to war & we were very poor. Now my people
are enlightened; we live in peace & some have
�acquired property. Our condition is very greatly improved on what it once was; and the word of God
had been the great cause of our improvement.
[Page 2 of 2]
Many of my people regard the word of God, Jehovah,
& pray to him, & he has blessed them. I advise
you to throw away your idols, take the Lord Jehovah
for your God, worship & love him, & he will bless
& love you.
May He “make these new teachers a great blessing to you, & your people & whithold from
you no good thing.
Kamehameha
