Abstract:
Reacts to news of Aunt Elizabeth's death, spurring religious reflections on death. Grateful for books sent to his son. Notes on his children, one named after missionary Jeremiah Evarts. Wishes to send his children back to America, believing "The Sandwich Islands is a very undesirable place in which to train up youth. The temptations to which they will be exposed are innumerable." Number of "foreign residents" in Hawaii is increasing, which Chamberlain believes will "be favorable to the object of advancing the nati[ves] in civilization." Notes a new place of worship for seamen and the formation of a new mission. Comments on Hawaiians and race, touching on cannibalism and war.
