Greetings to you, Cooke,
I received your accounting concerning my debt to you all for the one thousand thirty-four
board feet of wood. That is the extent of my debt to you. And the amount of money is one
hundred fifty-five dollars, and because J.S. Emerson took my one thousand thirty feet of
Northwest lumber, the value being one hundred thirteen dollars, therefore Emerson’s debt to me
is no longer outstanding. Here are fifty-two dollars. Write me out an invoice for the remainder of
my debt to you taking into account the fifty-two dollars. That is my message to you. With
gratitude,
M. Kekuanaoa

To the American Board of Commissioners
for Foreign Missions.
Gentlemen.
The Board of Education,
of the Hawaiian Islands, would
most gratefully acknowledge the
receipt, by the "Raduga," of the 2
Cases of Philosophical apparatus,
so kindly given by you to replace
the set lost by the unfortunate fire,
which destroyed the main buildings
of the Lahainaluna Seminary, in
January last.
It is a source of
great pleasure, to the Educational
Dept of this Kingdom, to know that
this Seminary, which owed its
existence, and for so many years,
its support, to the philanthropical

�efforts of the American Mission,
should still be considered a
worthy object for your generous
regard.
Please accept
[Page 2 of 3]
our thanks - gentlemen - for
a gift, so well selected, and
which will add so much to
the efficiency of the school.
I now have the
gratification to assure your
Honorable Board, that the
Seminary is again in a
condition to be, as it always
has been, - the highest school
in the Kingdom, and of
incalculable benefit to the
people.
I have the honor to be
Gentlemen
Yours with Respect
M. Kekuanaoa

Letter of Kekua
naoa respecting
Conner
Transcription:
[Page 1 of 2]
Greetings to you, Bingham,
I have tried a foreigner, Conner, and it was perfectly clear to me that this
foreigner lied. My heart was pained by his invoking the names of the king, Kauikeaouli,
of Kinau and me as well. He said that we had gambled.
We did not gamble. He was taken to be jailed.

�Letter of Kekuanaoa respecting
Conner
Notes:
1. Binamu - Rev. Hiram Bingham arrived in Hawaiʻi with the first company of
missionaries. He served as the first reverend at Kawaiahaʻo Church in Honolulu.
2. Kanera - Conner is the likely English form of this unidentified foreigner's name
who was tried by Kekūanāoʻa and jailed.
3. Kekuanaoa - Although the letter is not signed, the note [in a different hand] on the
cover of this letter indicates that this is a letter from Kekūanāoʻa concerning
Conner, a foreigner. Mataio Kekūanāoʻa, of chiefly descent, was first married to
Kalani Pauahi and then to Elizabeth Kīnaʻu. He was the Royal Governor of the
island of Oʻahu from 1834-1868, a member of the House of Nobles and Privy
Council, the 6th Kuhina Nui (regent) and the father of Kamehameha IV and
Kamehameha V.

Notes:

�1. This letter is addressed to no one, however since Mr. Levi Chamberlain served as the
superintendent for secular affairs, and apparently coordinated the Poʻahā, this letter
probably would be sent to him.
2. poaha - The 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. Kekuanaoa - Mataio Kekūanāoʻa, of chiefly descent, was first married to Kalani Pauahi
and then to Elizabeth Kīnaʻu. He was the Royal Governor of the island of Oʻahu at the
time of this letter (1834-1868), a member of the House of Nobles and Privy Council, the
6th Kuhina Nui (regent) and the father of Kamehameha IV and Kamehameha V.
