James Kahuhu [Cover Letter] James Kahuhu May 29th 1826 Mr. Chamberlain Waiahao Oahu Translation: [Page 1 of 2] Oahu, Waipio. May 27th, 1826 I have seen the letter that you wrote. I have received the knives, I received 10 knives. Here is my word to you, I am preaching the word of God to the people of this place, the word of the Lord, so that they will properly know the grace of God. Here is my other message to you. Address the nature of the fourteen signs so that we know the nature of those words of God. Do send over more spelling primers for me. The people of this place greatly desire the written word. There are many students here: many men, women and children. Here is another message to you. Tell me about the people at the beginning of Genesis, in section five or section four. Write that text to me so that I know it well. Also the tenth section, tell me about those two sections. You must tell Mr. H. Bingham to tell me of the laws that you still have. [Page 2 of 2] And when you know, tell me the laws that remain with you so that my statements to the unenlightened ones are correct. �Do give me some hymnals, five hymnals for me. I currently do not have any hymnals. Give my regards to Mr. Bingham. I am here doing what he wishes, so do tell him. Here is another message to you. What was the transgression for which Moses died? Tell me of his death so that I know the transgression for which he died. Also with the wrong for which David died, do tell me. Regards to Mr. Loomis, Richards, Samuel Kanae and Poupou.
