Wainee April 10 1843
Dear teacher,
While John and Moses
were writing to you I thought it would be
better for me to write too. We are all well and
and no new thing to make me happy and
I wish I was at Honolulu eating at the same
table. I was seasick all the way Yesterday. We
went to meeting the native and down chapel
at three o’clock we went again down chapel
and we were glad to hear most of ^the Capt
religious, at night we went to board Capt
Steward ship to meeting and we returned home
late. all the boys said to give their full
love to the girls and Mrs. Cooke &amp; Sarai and
all of you family. There are about twenty
eight ships when we arrive. some of the sailors
call on us and some came and sing with us
sometimes.
Yours affections scholar
Lot Kamehameha

Notes:

actively engaged with the Chiefs' Children's School, where Lot attended at the time of
this letter.
2. Moses - This is most likely Moses Kekūāiwa. He was the son of Mataio Kekūanāoʻa and
Elizabeth Kīnaʻu and he attended school with Lot.
3. Capt Steward - This person is unknown but seems to have been the Captain of the ship
upon which Lot and his fellow schoolmates attended a prayer meeting.
4. Mrs. Cooke - Juliette Montague Cooke was married to Amos Starr Cooke and together
they ran the Chiefs' Childrenʻs School.
5. Sarai - Sarai Hiwauli, assisted at the school and was the wife of John Papa ʻĪʻī. Together
they had a hānai daughter, Mary Polly Paʻaʻāina, a classmate of Lot Kamehameha.
