Greetings to you Balawina,
I left to come here to Honolulu on the 6th with the intention to return on Keoua today, but
G.P. Judd asked me to stay and maybe return on the Paalua in these next few days. When the
Paalua arrives from Kauai, that is the day I will sail there. There is a warship from your
homeland, coming from China. On the 7th it will arrive. An officer for the The Boston, the
Captain of that ship, scorned the actions of Lord Paulet, or so I heard from some foreigners down
in Honolulu. That ship may have 54 guns. Give me a copy of the English you translated
[Page 2 of 4]
from the king's statement to Lord Paulet. G.P. Judd wants it because I just brought all the
statements of Lord Paulet here on Oahu.
Regards to you and your wife,
From Ioane Ii

Lahaina
Maui
Notes:

�1. Ioane Ii - John Papa ʻĪʻī began his service in the royal court when he served as an
attendant to Kalanikualiholiho, Kamehameha II. Īʻī later became a trusted advisor and
chief in the court of Kauikeaouli, Kamehameha III and continued to serve the sovereigns
of Hawaiʻi until his death in 1870.
2. Balawina - Rev. Dwight Baldwin came to Hawaiʻi in 1831 with the fourth company of
missionaries and resided on Maui.
3. G.P. Judd - Dr. Gerrit Parmele Judd was a member of the third company of missionaries
and a medical doctor. He resigned from the mission in 1842 to work for the Hawaiian
government, and was working as a translator and diplomatic liaison at the time of this
letter.
4. Lord Paulet - Lord George Paulet of Great Britain landed the HBMS Carysfort in
Honolulu on February 11, 1843 and proceeded to make demands and threaten the
government for compliance, causing Kamehameha III to temporarily yield his authority
to Paulet's rule.
