Greetings to you, Bingham,
Here is my letter to Jeremiah Evarts. Perhaps you should check, for it might be correct or
might not. I did not compose the letter, J. Pelham, a medical practitioner, did my writing.
Affection to all of you brethren there and those in America and all around the earth.
May we all be granted salvation by Jesus, our Lord and Savior.
From John Adams Kuakini

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

To Jer. L. Evarts Esq.
Dear Sir,

Excellency Gov J. Adams, to answer your
very kind letter received per favour of the
Rev. H. Bingham and to bet you will

“I have received your very

for which I send you my greatfull thanks
and also for your kind regards for myself
and people. I have often heard of your
kind regards for our wealfare and of your
constant prayers for the enlightening of our

�dark minds, and I look forward with hope
[Page 2 of 2]
when your kind wishes will be
accomplished and we shall be able to be among
the members of those who will be saved.
We have a large church and its being
filled every Sabath is I think a good sign
that the glorious light of the Gosple is doing
great good for the removing the clouds of
Heathenism from our own dark minds. I
shall always love the Missionaries and
take care of them. With every wish for
your health and happiness and soliciting
your prayers for our welfare.
Believe me to be
Your friend,
John Adams
P.S. I have written the above
verbatim from the Gov’s dictation
Your’s respectfully,

[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.

[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.
