thanks to Her Majesty for Her great kindness in
writing to me with Her Own HANDS, The death OF
the Young Prince, who seemed, to human eyes, TO
have before Him a career OF so much usefulness ana
in whom so many hopes were centered, must indeed
have been q heavy sorrow for the whole country. as
well as for the Royal Parents; but doubtless, as you
say, it was sent for a wise and nercIful purpose, Al
though TO US, ut present, such many appear Inscrut-
able. trust that He who saw BIT TO wound the
hearts of the King and Queen in this their tenderest
affection, has strengthened them to bear the trial.
and has given them abundantly the consolation
which He only can bestow i'll the hour OF sorrow.
The sympathy for them in England, has been very
deep, and happening as did the death, Mt the very
time Of the Bishops arrival in the Islands, 1t seemed
to give even more sacredness to the commencement
of the new Mission. From what we know and have

BRUSSELS, Feb. 4th. 1864.
My DEAR SIR Il have been surprised and sorrow
stricken to see the announcenent in the newspapers
OF the death Of Kamehameha "; and desire imme-
diately to convey to you the deep sympathy felt by
my husband and myself for the widowed Queen,
whose tears have scarcely ceased to flow over the
tomb of an idolized child, when her heart is made
still more desolate by the death of her beloved hus-
band. These are trials that human nature can not
resist unaided by Divine grace, and We sincerely hope
that God who has so sorely afflicted the young Queen,
will also send to her stricken heart his holy con.ola-
tions. .
Knowing Kamehameba ". to have been a well
educated, virtuous and accomplished Prince, whose
ideas had been enlarged and whose mind had been
expanded by foreign travel and intercourse, L fear
that his early death will be q great blow to the pros
periry of your Islands.
As we feel such a deep interest in your distant
Island Kingdom, would you, my dear sir, be SO good
as to send me the newspapers in which may be 10 und
the particulars of this sad event. :" A.D
