Greetings to you, Mr. and Mrs. Ruggles, and to all your retainers, as well as Kamahiainui
and Haole. Great affection to you all; may we all be saved through Jesus.
Here is my little message to you, Ruggles. Deliver my cloth. If it is with Maalo, then
Kamahiainui should go get it, and once you see it, send it on one of your people's ships, then
document that and give it to Mr. Chamberlain. Finished, that is all.
Relay my affectionate thoughts to the faithful men
[Page 2 of 2]
there and the faithful women there. Let us all love God with great joy and with fear of God in our
hearts for our many wrongdoings. That is my short message for you to tell them. It is done.

Greetings to you, Mr. Chamberlain,
Here is this man named Kahalekuaaina who wishes to join the Poaha. He is a
retainer for me and he is from the lewa group. He has expressed this message to me four
times.
From Gidiona Laanui

Laanui
1831
For Mr. Chamberlain

�Notes:
1. Mi. Kamelani - Mr. Levi Chamberlain arrived in Honolulu with the second
company of missionaries in 1823. He served as the superintendent of secular
affairs for the mission.
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. papalewa - Interpreted here as the lewa group; the term lewa could either mean
deep knowledge or not stationary, but no context provides the distinction. In other
letters, Laʻanui recommends members of a net-fishing group, and that could be
the meaning of this reference.
4. Gidiona Laanui - Gideon Peleiōhōlani Laʻanui was a native of Waimea, Hawaiʻi
who was partly raised in the court of Kamehameha I. He was an early convert and
became an active member of the church, living in Waialua, Oʻahu.

2. Aikake - ʻAikake is a person who has made a request to return to the Poʻahā,
about which Gideon Laʻanui is uncertain.
3. 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.
4. Gidiona Laanui - Gideon Peleiōhōlani Laʻanui was a native of Waimea, Hawaiʻi
who was partly raised in the court of Kamehameha I and married Nāmāhana, a

member of the church, living in Waialua, Oʻahu.
