Greetings to you,
The youth who fetches the newspapers is coming with a dollar and an eighth for some
guide books for Hawaiian hymns, because Maraia Ii is going to take up this position.
The number of Sunday school books is not known at this time, for I have not spoken with
the Sunday school teachers. We are striving to advance that good work, but it has been slow,
because of low enrollment of children and adults alike. It is due to lack of faith as well, so nails
and hammers have been promised to them in recent days.
with thanks,
J. I. Kaninau

Notes:
1. J.
I.
Kanīnau
-‐
J. I. Kaninau – Ioane I. Kaninau, the name the writer of this letter used, is
recorded as John ʻĪʻī on the receiving note on the outside of the letter. The handwriting
matches that of letters written and signed by John ʻĪʻī, and it seems this may be another name
he used.
John Papa ʻĪʻī began his service in the royal court as a childhood attendant to
Kalanikualiholiho, who became Kamehameha II. He continued to serve the sovereigns of
Hawaiʻi until his death in 1870.
