Frenchman who are coming in the Europa from Valparaiso to land, if they do not dwell long in my kingdom,
& immediately charter a vessel & go to the country they
expect to visit. I have heard that Kauikeaouli has
left writing with you to forbid the said “Frenchmen”

will be proper for you to inform me in writing.
