Lahaina, June 27th, 1842
Greetings to you, Mr. Cooke. I received your letter and have noted its contents concerning the
illness troubles of some of our children and the illness of your wife. Much love to you all.
It is almost time for us two to go and meet you face to face, for on July 13 I shall be in the
church there and at that time perhaps we shall meet.
We live with love to you and with prayer to God to give you peace and us also. There is no
disturbance here, only goodness.
Greetings to you and your children and your wife.

Greetings to you, Mr. Cooke

�I have received your letter and have seen the message within regarding the trouble of
some of our children as well as the infirmity of your wife; intense regard to you all.
The time is approaching when we two will sail there and all of us can meet face to face,

We abide with great affection for you all and pray to God for protection over all of you
and for all of us as well. Also, there is no disturbance in our lives and all is well.
Regards to you, our children and to your wife.

Greetings to you, Mr. Cooke, to our children to Mrs. Cooke, and to Sarai, the mother of
our children, as she is the one who has fallen ill. I feel bad for the two of you for the troubles you
have been bearing to tend to our children. Sarai, your third hand, is sick and John Ii has sailed
here to see to his own illness. And you all know of the infirmity of M. Kekuanaoa. We are all
beset with difficulty. I am in need, as are you folks, lacking someone to assist in your folks’
needs.
Deep regards to you, our children, Mrs. Cooke and Sarai

From Kekuanaoa

To Levi Chamberlain
Notes:
1. Liwi/Liwai Kamalani - Mr. Levi Chamberlain was a member of the second
company of missionaries, superintendent of secular affairs for the mission and a
missionary teacher.
2. poaha - Po‘ahā, lit. Thursday, is a reference to the Bible study meetings, held on
Thursdays, that prepared one for baptism and membership in the church
congregation.
3. Paukane - Pau kāne, unnumbered, indicates the close of the kāne, the males, the
following three entries being female. That would explain Kekūanāoʻa's mistaken
(and corrected) counting, where he crossed out "kumamakahi," meaning eleven. It
seems he accidently added Paukane as a name in his initial tally.
4. akahiwahi 1 - This is likely a truncated form of ʻakahi wahine, or "first female."
5. Kekuanaoa - Mataio Kekūanāoʻa, of chiefly descent, was first married to Kalani
Pauahi and then to Elizabeth Kīnaʻu. He was a member of the royal court and held
important positions in the Hawaiian government throughout his life.
