Hibscqui-ntly in book form, of a Hawaiian History by
f Jr. IVgue, based in part upon V the celebrated manu

(jfjatituate that you intend to make extracts or transla
iior;s from it.
Mpj As Guardian of Eraina Malo, the only child and
ff pvir of David Malo, I respectfully protest against the
j uMication in your columns or elsewhere, of the man-
f-cnpt reterrea to, or oi any dook or article based in
t:y measure thereon. The manuscript is the exclusive
a-

front of her rights, to which I cannot consent, and to
tvhich I feel very confident, you, sir, would not be a
arty. llespectfully your obedient servant,
Edwakd 1. Bond,
Guardian of Emma Malo.
When Mr. Bond expresses his belief that we would
tot be a party to infringe on the rights of MU3 Emma
ff-Ialo, or make an unauthorized use of the manuscript
litory which is her private and exclusive property,
::e does us no more than justice, for we firmly believ
'r.hat a'man is as mu;h entitled to the benefit of the la
rti.QT of his brain, as to that of his hands.
i. j Vi'heu we stated in a general way that the author of
:be forth-comiDg history of Hawaii naa liaa access to
r .he manuscript of the late David Malo, our informa
3ion was derived from a conversation with a gentleman
ti v hose correctness we had no reason to doubt, either
M .hen or now. We do not know, nor do we feel called
hpon to inquire whether the author of the Hawaiian

fur. Bond, by the bye, does not deny the fact we
:heerfdlly promise to refrain from publishing or com-
aentin" upon any portion of the forth-coming history
Thich Mr. Bond shall point out to us as b- ing either
:ouied from or based upon the oft-referred to manu
script, for as we have not, nor ever had possession
hereof, we shall otherwise be unable to know when we
another's rirht. Our expression,

That we snau noie iuc m.m.w.j 1

that we intend to republish the work, but only to make
iuch translated extracts therefrom, if we deem it wor
thy, as will enable us to notice it critically and intelii-

j We commend Mr. Bond for his sensitiveness touch
ing the exclusive property of (his) ward;" but, hav
ing heard that the manuscript has travelled to liono

Without having had its travelling expenses paid, we

letters, iuserted in the Adcer-
'iserot the 15th iust., and referring to the stay which
m s..,-: i said to have made at iNuka-
:Mr i.if , Kprrlnnintr of March last, aud a short
'time after my departure from that place, oblige me to
i publish the accompanying letter, addressed to me by
I. II. Davis, Esq., commanamg me sioou-ui-
Jry'. . ,
Although the anonymous communications, to whicn
Tn,i-ia onctwh immediately following my
'departure from the Marquesas Islands, and do not
fwr, m;r,;afrt;rn it is with pleasure that
I oppose provisionally to the account, made by the cap-
n of an American wnaier oi nis own
Jdact and his own shame, in terms which give the sad
jacst opinion of their author the testimony of an offl
pr of the United States Navy, as distinguished by nis
arrices as by his character, and too weu inou
teed commendation.
This testimony, given by the worthy commandant of
o. Mury aner a stay ot atwut three weeks in the
uauiu oi xuK.ainva, will suttice to destroy the un
toward impression which the unoualified and fvilnmnJ-
cms narrative of the unknown whaling captain may
have caused in the minds of its readers, and will. I
nope, completely reassure American and other mari
neis, who visit the Marouesas Islands, as to the rfwm
tion and care which they are sure there to meet with

I am, with respect, &c,

at Nukahiva, from Oct. 18-5G, to Feb. 1858
' U. S. Ship St. Mary's,
rM3 Hai, July SO, 1S57. )
Sir : I have the pleasure to acknowledge the receipt
of your note of this morning, and in compliance with
your wishes, so decidedly and earnestly expressed, I
will withhold the salute ot seventeen guns, which it was
my intention to have given you as Governor of the
Marquesas Islands.
liut 1 hope you will allow me to have the pleasure,
before my departure, of paying you the honor of a per
sonal salute, as a mark of my respect for your charac
ter and position, and as an expression of my gratitude
for your kindness to my countrymen who resort to
these islands to recruit and refresh their crews, and
who, whether in sickncs or in health, are sure to re
ceive trom yourseit ana your associates all necessary
care and attention.
Very sespectfully, 'our ob't serv't,
