[Page 2 of 2] [Cover Letter] Letter of Kekua naoa respecting Conner Transcription: [Page 1 of 2] Greetings to you, Bingham, I have tried a foreigner, Conner, and it was perfectly clear to me that this foreigner lied. My heart was pained by his invoking the names of the king, Kauikeaouli, of Kinau and me as well. He said that we had gambled. We did not gamble. He was taken to be jailed. [Page 2 of 2] [Cover Letter] �Letter of Kekuanaoa respecting Conner Notes: 1. Binamu - Rev. Hiram Bingham arrived in Hawaiʻi with the first company of missionaries. He served as the first reverend at Kawaiahaʻo Church in Honolulu. 2. Kanera - Conner is the likely English form of this unidentified foreigner's name who was tried by Kekūanāoʻa and jailed. 3. Kekuanaoa - Although the letter is not signed, the note [in a different hand] on the cover of this letter indicates that this is a letter from Kekūanāoʻa concerning Conner, a foreigner. Mataio Kekūanāoʻa, of chiefly descent, was first married to Kalani Pauahi and then to Elizabeth Kīnaʻu. He was the Royal Governor of the island of Oʻahu from 1834-1868, a member of the House of Nobles and Privy Council, the 6th Kuhina Nui (regent) and the father of Kamehameha IV and Kamehameha V. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
