Translation: [Page 1 of 3] [Archival note in another hand] Translation of the letter ascribed to Boki in the London Quarterly Review The island of Oahu, January 24th, 1826 No. 206 Sir, I am taking this opportune time to send you these few lines with the hope they find you in good health. Loving God is my way now. I regret to inform you about Mr. Pitt, whose pain increased since the time you all sailed off, but thanks to God he has found comfort at this time and we are thinking he will recover. I regret to inform you about Mr. Bingham, the head of the missionaries; he is making great efforts to take into his own hands the law of this land. We are all delighted by some people who instruct us in goodness and decency, but he wants us to live solely under his laws which are not beneficial for the people of this land. I have worked hard to oppose that and have been able to since that time. Kaahumanu wants [Page 2 of 3] all the power of the land to go to the missionaries, but I will oppose this whenever I have the opportunity, because if it all goes to them, nothing will get done in these islands; they surely will not cultivate any food for themselves. I want the people to learn script and �handwriting and how to do these things, but the missionaries have all the people under them day and night, both the old people and the new, and for that reason, little is getting done at this time. The majority of Hawaiians are angry with the missionaries because we think that the law might fall into their hands. Captain Charlton did not arrive from Tahiti and for that reason I am thinking something bad has befallen him. Mr. Bingham has become lost in his lengthy sermons to the people of this land. King George does not honor God, nor does Lord Byron or any of the royalty [Page 3 of 3] of Britain; they are just wrongdoers and are the only ones remaining, but not all of the heads of Britain and America will be saved. May God send you prosperity and long life. Mrs. Boki sends kind regards to Lord Byron and Mr. Cameron and the honorable Mr. Hill. From Boki [In another hand - Boki's own?] I did not write this. [Archival note in original file] Translation of the above denial: This communication was not written by me. See 259 [Letter cover] Boki’s denial of the not Letter in the Quarterly Review Recd. Apr. 18, 1829 Notes: 1. Boki - Born under the name Kamāʻuleʻule, the high chief was known by the nickname Boki (“Boss”). He was the governor of Oʻahu and an entrepreneur. 2. London Quarterly Review - This was a literary and political periodical published from 1809 to 1967, where the English version of this letter was apparently printed. 3. Mika Pitt - Mr. Pitt, or Billy Pitt was a name taken by Kālaimoku. Kālaimoku, also known as Kalanimoku and William Pitt Kalanimoku, was a trusted advisor of Kamehameha I. During the travels of Liholiho and Kamāmalu to Great Britain, he �4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. co-ruled with Kaʻahumanu, maintaining a leadership role during the first reigning years of the new king, Liholiho's younger brother, Kauikeaouli. Mika Binamu - Rev. Hiram Bingham was in the first company of missionaries that arrived in Hawaiʻi in 1820. Cahomano - Kaʻahumanu was the favorite wife of Kamehameha I and became Kuhina Nui after his death. Captain Charlton - This man was a businessman and the English Consul in Hawaiʻi who was a good friend of Liliha. Lord Byron - A captain in the British Royal navy who returned the bodies of King Kamehameha II and Queen Kamāmalu to Hawaiʻi on the HMS Blonde in May, 1825. Mr. Camrone, Mr. Hill - Mr. Cameron and Mr. Hill, who were greeted by Liliha, are likely other members of the party that escorted the bodies of the king and queen back to Hawaiʻi from England following their death there in 1824.
