[Archival Note]
To Mr Loomis
(translation)
No. 201
Oahu, December 6, 1826
This is my sentiment knows thou, approbation is the chief
thing which my heart maintains respecting the business which your
company have brought hither and which had recently been obtained
by us- “We were dwelling in darkness. When we were arrived
at [or visited] by you, the obscurity of our eyes was opened. When
this was done we saw clearly the light of the Lord; we had great dread
fear, and dread, and awe. [ or alarm] But gracious indeed was
the Lord Jesus Christ, and I have given up my heart to follow after
Jesus Christ; and my desire and chief trust, to follow the straight
path of righteousness and the love of Jehovah the everlasting Father.
There am I permanently that is passed, [or having finished this
statement] here is another thought in addition.
Salute the company of kindred in America and desire my love
to them. Tell them I pray to God for them, tell them pray to God
for us here that he would make known the meaning of the
love of Jesus Christ. Such are my sentiments; I communicate
them that you may know. What I have said is wrong perhaps,
look ye: and if it is wrong, it is because the work of Jesus Christ
�is not fully understood. That is perhaps the reason why my
thoughts are not right. What I have to say is finished.
(By) Gov. J. Adams

Translation:
[Page 1 of 2]
Greetings to you, my dear friend, Bingham,
I have a message for you. Should I sign my name in this document? The document is
from the stores that sell liquor and is actually about the days cash transactions are prohibited.
J.W. Land says I should sign my name. I am thinking that if later on I stop the sale of liquor,
what then? Take a look at whether this is right or wrong.
Adams, Kuakini
Fort
Send me back a letter.
�[Page 2 of 2]
[Letter Cover]
For Bingham
Notes:
1. Adams Kuakini – John Adams Kiʻipalaokū Kuakini was an adviser of Kamehameha I and
brother of Kamehameha's favorite wife, Kaʻahumanu. He became governor of Oʻahu and
in his later years moved to Hawaiʻi Island.
2. Binaham – Rev. Hiram Bingham arrived with the first company of missionaries, serving as the
first reverend at Kawaiahaʻo Church.
3. ka palapala o na hale kuailama - This reference to a petition or edict concerning the liquorselling establishments is unclear, as the letter is undated.
4. JW Land – The background of J.W. Land is unknown, but he appears to have talked with
Kuakini concerning liquor sales prior to this letter to Bingham.
5. Papu – The Pāpū, or fort, mentioned in this letter might be the Honolulu Fort, where he
resided as Commander in Chief, or could be the Kailua Fort in Kailua-Kona Hawaiʻi.
Adams Kuakini moved to Hawaiʻi island during the mid-1830s and lived there until his
death in Kailua-Kona in 1844.

[Archival Note]
No. 213
Oahu December 5 1826
Good will to you Mr. Loomis together with
all the missionaries from Hawaii to Kauai.
These are my sentiments for you all. I do
not know of you having done wrong. Not
in the least have my eyes ever seen any
thing blameable from the first even down
to the present time. Here is the fault concerning which the world is angry, the
word of Jesus. To the wicked it is an evil
word, but to those who believe in Jesus, it
is the mighty word of Jehovah. It is the
good thing you have brought to us- the
salvation of our souls- Jesus, he it is
whom you have preached to us. Our
hearts have looked and beheld the real
salvation, and the certain truth. Then
the eyes saw the wickedness crowded out
by the entering in of the good. Now the
wickedness is without, because Jesus came
�to take upon himself our sins, and he gave
also his body to be food for us, and his
blood to be the means of cleansing away
the evil of our hearts, and his powerful
spirit to be that means of enlightening ^the means of enlightening the mind, and
the mind his word to be that^ by which to become straight.
The sentiments for you is finished.
Affection for you all.
Gideon Laanui
Mr. Loomis
