sympathy of great and enlightened souls everywhere.
Its pursuit will at once ennoble this little State; -
and a success that shall at least double the population
of Hawaii in the next twenty years. and make her
equal to what she was when her independence was
first recognized, will fully assure that independence.
And then with prosperity and peace within her
borders. our recuperated Hawaii will be an honor to
its Ruler, and youwork Of restoration Of your country

greatest monarch in the world might be proud.
And now ever praying for Your Majesty's con-
tinued prosperity and permanence on the Hawaiian
Throne, we remain,
