to your many friends
The importance of the interest is which

care attracts the attention of all classes
of this community to yourself-for they |
concern all-and throws upon you re-
sponsibility which must at times have |
caused you great anxiety.
In representing the Hawaiian Govern |
ment at Washington, you have not only
the honor of a high position, but you
have at the same time the satisfaction
of knowing that you are treating with
Government whose successive admins
trations have all been friendly and gen
erously disposed toward the Hawaiian
Kings and people; and that you repre-
sent nation which appreciates and re-
ciprocates that friendship, and which
hopes that by frank and honest presen-
tation of all questions of mutual concern,
the intimate and advantageous relations
now existing will be perpetuated.
The consciousness of duty faithfully
done, and of successful effort are, no
doubt, your best reward, but your
friends feel that they ought not to let
you go away again without expressing

for their recognition of his eff
forts on behalf of this nation. Wherever

feeling towards Hawaii. He
had strong hopes of the present CONNER
cial relations with the United States
being perpetuated. He would endeavor
TO use his best efforts in the future, as
he had done in the past, for Hawaii He

of the Government had met
with the approval of His Majesty the
King, His Majesty's Ministers, and the
