An Open Letter to john E. Bush.

GENOA, Sd Oct, 1883.
DEAE FRIESD BusH:-I address to you as a
friend for the reason that never ceased to be so
towards YOU.
never wrote you for tue reason that had full
confidence that time and events would prove you
substantially that on the second part Of the month
of August, 1850, You aud Judge Jones did not con-
duct yourselves towards me as You two ought to
have done
l did not demonstrate then, because | was vel
awtre that you two were under the constant and
pernicOus influence Of Mr.. Gibson. who with
melihuous at the same time poisoned tongue easily
twisted yol both; but he (Gibson) would never
have had the ability to twist me under any cir
cuulstances, and very likely would have met with
the reverse.
From mutual friend often receive news from
the Islands, and kept we'll informed of what is
going on. This is the reason why | write you this
letter with the conviction that you have by this
time understood the game of Mr.. Gibson IN the
month of August, 1880, his invitations to dinner
with him, his staunch friendship for you, his
friendly and disnterested advice to you to beware
of me and to fight me, his great love for the ma
tiyes and you included
beg to state TO you that the letter of credit for
the sum OF 5000 you gave me on the day, 3Oth of
August 1850, Is yet unpaid in my possession. Mr..
W. Martin, Hawaiian Charge d'Affaires in Paris
refused TO pay it, and showed me = telegram from
New York, in which he Allen plainly said not to
pay me a single cent.
Of the $1,000 sent by Minister Green to Mr.. Mar
tim only $3.50 were paid to me for the difference
Martin kept for himself on account Of credit he
had against the Hawaiian Government.
OF tue 5000 sent by Minister W. l.. Green to
Mr.. Hackfeld, Hawaiian Charge d'Afares in
Bremen, have not received n single cent, for the
reason that | have not answered Mr.. Hackfeds
letter which he told he had received the $1,000
for the three Hawaiian youths eK enses; nor
have | ever answered Minister w. l.. Green's let
tiers in which he told to send my bill to Mr..
Hackfeld of the money advanced, and send the
three youths to Bremen in care OF Mr.. Hackfeld-
three Hawaiian youths were entrusted to me by
His Majesty the King aud faithful to my words
given and 10 the commands received, / was only
responsible to the Sovereign This is the way to
obey.
sincerely hope that Messrs. Green and Hack
field are alive and IN Honolulu and in their senti
ment of justice and equity, if you viii ask them
am confident that they will confirm my assertions
or better said these irrefutable facts
While was in Berlin, l was compelled to draw
money from Italy for supporting Booth, Boyd, and
myself there, and Wilcox in Paris. | went to
Berlin in obedience to His Majesty's commands
and TO the instructions you gave me, TO put Booth
and Boyd IN the German Imperial Military and
Naval Academies, but their age and ignorance of
the German language to enable them TO pass
aminatiOns were too big obstacles.
-Four persons travelling from Honolulu to Rome
and Naples by railway, steamers, carriages, hotels
and all the necessaries of life especially the three
boys who in need of clothes of every descrip-
ton III harmony with the different climates, wash
ing, Shoes underclothes, postage stamps, baths,
again to Italy from the North to the South and
Wilcox TO the North again to Turin, from the Both
day of August, 1880, to the eth of May, 1881, it
takes great deal of money and had to advance
everything from my pocket.
Mr.. RataTd has heard something, and at the
Minister of Foreign Affairs of France, there is
complaint on file and claim for damages which in
a due time and in accordance with the events may
eventually be lupheldrl by Italy automatically
or otherwise.
To conclude. beg of you to tell to the King that
now after these years, 1t is time to send me the
money | advanced from my own pocket for sup
porting Wilcox, Booth, Boyd, and putting them in
the best schools of Europe, where l was graduated
myself. Also the ten 40 months of salary spent
on this troublesome mission, VIZ: from the 30 of
august, 1880 to The day 20 of July 1881 when per-
sonally 1 gave my resignation to His Majesty in
Naples, at Pun.
In accordance with His Majestys desire, ex-
pressed to me in Rome, the day ith of july 1881,
at Dam, sent my bill on 9th of July, same year,
TO the King in London again on the day 9Th of
july the next year, 1889, from Rome / sent again
a same detailed bill, and in May, 1888 sent the
same bill only With the totals, and not a cent has
come to me yet.
On the day, the Sth of August, 1888, sent reg
istered letter to the Kings address in Honolulu,
with the amount of my bill against the Hawaiian
or better said against the King him.
self, the answer had no time TO reach mo, so fan
took no other steps. Hoping that you will do ME
this favor, anticipate to you my thanks, and be-
lleve as before, your good friend.
CELso CESAR MoRENo.
