HIRAM BINGHAM TO DWIGHT BALDWIN, OAHU Apr. 12, 1837

Dear Brother

I write to you as the ailing pastor of the church at Lahaina.

It is partly in accordance with my own wishes and partly in compliance with the wishes of the king who for two months past has treated me with unusual deference and kindness, and has today received the large reinforcement of 32 persons with great propriety, that I request you to assist him in the arrangement of the proper rites for removing and depositing the body of his sister in the place of its rest.

When the bodies of the king and queen were received from Eng. we were desirous to make the occasion instructive, & again when they were removed to the tomb of ?, I availed myself of the opportunity to present Christ to the living.

What the king appears to wish is that much the same should be done for his sister at Maui as was done for them here. I have told him I should approve of that, & would at his request write to this effect, but then, it must be, with you at Lahaina to act your own pleasure.

My advice would be to take the body to the church and have a sermon as usual on funeral occasions, and as to rest, let the chiefs manage the whole affair except where they ask specific advice.

Hoapili and his wife wept very loud here on the death of their daughter and if they and others should do the same again, I should make little account of it unless there were some direct violation of the command of God in the case. Hoapili asked me if it was "tabu to ?". I told (sic) it was not, provided we did in perfect acquiescence with the will of God, and with a sense of acknowledgement of his right to do as he pleased with us and ours.

Whether they shall cry aloud or not I do not think that should have any influence on your attending the funeral services or any of the missionaries.

The king's mind is in a ? state; so far as is known, he has abstained from his cups, gambling, since the death of his sister, seems disposed to listen sometimes to the truth. I understand he tried to discourage his own people from dealing in rum, tho he has taken the bribes of foreigners to allow them to sell another year. - Has not given license to any native. His wife will hear attentively.

I commend them both to you all and also the chiefs who accompany them.

Very truly,

P.S. I cannot come to Maui now. Ho (sic) I should feel a pleasure in doing so. Love to all the brothers and sisters.

H.B.
