It was he who wrote requesting that Hawaiian teachers sail there to teach those people who are living without a teacher. This is the annual salary, two hundred dollars ($200). That is not a lot of money, because the cost of living there is high.

Kaulehelehe folk are members of the first church of Honolulu, and the devout must pray to God for them lest they be lost to temptation; and that they live properly and guide the people there in life. Let us not forget them.
