Hawaiian Mission Houses Historic Site and Archives (Mission Houses) collaborated with Awaiaulu Foundation to digitize, transcribe, translate and annotate over 200-letters written by 33-Chiefs.
The letters, written between 1823 and 1887, are assembled from three different collections: the ABCFM Collection held by Harvard's Houghton Library, the HEA Collection of the Hawaii Conference-United Church of Christ and the Hawaiian Mission Children's Society.
These letters provide insight into what the Ali'i (Chiefs) were doing and thinking at the time, as well as demonstrate the close working relationship and collaboration between the ali?i and the missionaries.
In this letter, Gideon La?anui writes to Mr. and Mrs. Ruggles regarding cloth, expressing his affection to people there, and promoting faith in God.
The letter is addressed to Keiki. This is a name of endearment for Mr. Samuel Ruggles who arrived with the first company of missionaries.
Gideon Peleioholani La?anui born in 1797, was a native of Waimea, Hawai?i who was partly raised in the court of Kamehameha I, and married Namahana, a sister of Ka?ahumanu. After the arrival of the missionaries, he was an early convert and became an active member of the church, living in Waialua.
"May 29, 1827 Oahu"
"Greetings to you, Mr. and Mrs. Ruggles, and to all your retainers, as well as Kamahiainui and Haole."
"Great affection to you all; may we all be saved through Jesus."
"Here is my little message to you, Ruggles. Deliver my cloth. If it is with Maalo, then Kamahiainui should go get it, and once you see it, send it on one of your people's ships, then document that and give it to Mr. Chamberlain."
"Finished, that is all."
"Relay my affectionate thoughts to the faithful men there and the faithful women there."
"Let us all love God with great joy and with fear of God in our hearts for our many wrongdoings. That is my short message for you to tell them. It is done."
"By Gideon Laanui"

On October 23, 1819, the Pioneer Company of American Protestant missionaries from the northeast US, led by Hiram Bingham, set sail on the Thaddeus for the Sandwich Islands (now known as Hawai'i.) They arrived in the Islands and anchored at Kailua-Kona on April 4, 1820.
Over the course of a little over 40-years (1820-1863 – the "Missionary Period",) about 180-men and women in twelve Companies served in Hawai?i to carry out the mission of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions (ABCFM) in the Hawaiian Islands.
One of the earliest efforts of the missionaries, who arrived in 1820, was the identification and selection of important communities (generally near ports and ali?i residences) as "stations" for the regional church and school centers across the Hawaiian Islands.
Hawaiian Mission Houses' Strategic Plan themes note that the collaboration between Native Hawaiians and American Protestant missionaries resulted in the
The introduction of Christianity;
The development of a written Hawaiian language and establishment of schools that resulted in widespread literacy;
The promulgation of the concept of constitutional government;
The combination of Hawaiian with Western medicine, and
The evolution of a new and distinctive musical tradition (with harmony and choral singing). | Ruggles, Samuel (I4641)

In this letter, Kapi?olani writes to Reverend Samuel Ruggles and his wife about progress at Kuapehu, Hawai?i Island, and her wish for them to visit or write.
The letter is addressed to Keiki ma. Keiki was an affectionate nickname given by the Hawaiians to Rev. Samuel Ruggles. "Keiki ma" refers to Samuel Ruggles and company, in this case, probably his wife, Nancy Wells Ruggles.
In 1822, Naihe and Kapi?olani (husband and wife) were among the first chiefs to welcome instruction and accept Christianity. Kapi?olani was the daughter of Keawemauhili, who was the high chief of the district of Hilo (the uncle of Kiwala?o.)
"Ka'awaloa, Kuapehu, January 17, 1840"
"Greetings to the two of you, Reverend and Mrs. Ruggles,"
"Here is a message to you two to tell of the events of these years. The love of the Lord has been great in these years, converting many persons to his church through his love for us."
"Here too, a church was one of our endeavors. Parts of it are complete and others are not. The intention is, however, to complete it, for our teacher might not find physical comfort in a house that is bad, or might get sick."
"Listen, all of you, generate some compassion for us, those in need, for the minds of those in the land of ignorance have not matured to know righteousness, but the Lord sees the fruition of some, and others truly strive, so if the Lord sees it, that is good."
"There is also this: Namakelua is holding school here at Kuapehu. Also, all the chiefs have died; Kinau passed away, Lililiha died, Hoapili Kane has died, Keano is dead."
"I beseech you two to pray diligently for us so we may all live together in a good place. Thus I abide, yearning to meet together in a good place."
"Listen, both of you, you should generate love in the hearts of the brethren with my message. An expression of affection is my message to all of the brethren in America."
"Here is another message for you two, that I have no bundle to send to the two of you, it remains here in Kuapehu. On Sunday, I will go down and come back when that is done."
"All of you should know that Mr. Forbes and his wife are diligent in the work of the Lord, tender sometimes and forceful at other times."
"We also have new teachers, Mr. Ives and others, so the Lord has not deserted us here."
"Also, we have plans we are working on for our livelihood. We have planted sugar cane and the mill is processing, we planted cotton, but it is not certain. We are planting coffee again. The grape vines did not bear much fruit due to improper cultivation."
"You should write to me again about other good crops to plant so things flourish again here in Kuapehu."
"Why are you two not writing to me?"
"You should both write. Hale sends regards, Kamuela sends regards, Naihe sends regards, our mother/aunt sends regards."
"Say, you should sail here again and then return there. There are great efforts that our teacher is striving to do.
"Assisting in the new garden for the school teachers, that is up to the women, and as for the men, there is firewood for the church and other needs within the works of the Lord."
"Kapiolani Love to all the people"

Bentalls
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bentalls is an English department store chain with branches in Kingston upon Thames, Greater London, and Bracknell, Berkshire. The well regarded 'county' department store began as a drapery shop, founded by Frank Bentall in 1867. It is now owned by the independent Fenwick group.
The Kingston store was completed in 1935 to a design by architect Maurice Webb (son of Sir Aston Webb) and inspired by Wren's design for Hampton Court. The fine stonework on the facade was the work of Eric Gill. This original facade has been retained with the more recent Bentall Centre shopping development, in which the principal Bentalls store is now located. The store previously occupied buildings covering the entire site of the development.
In addition to the Kingston and Bracknell stores, Bentalls once operated stores in Ealing, Worthing, Tunbridge Wells, Chatham, Tonbridge, Lakeside and Bristol. The Bournemouth based J E Beale group acquired the lease to three of these sites and the Worthing and Tonbridge stores continue to trade under the Beales name.
Singer Dusty Springfield once worked at Bentalls in Ealing.

[edit] The Bentall Centre, Kingston upon Thames
[edit] History and development
In 1987, construction began on creating a new Bentalls department store and shopping centre. This new development was to include a six level department store and a four level adjoining shopping centre including over 100 retail units.
The development took five years to complete and was built in two phases, allowing the existing department store to trade throughout the development period. The first phase, the 'new' department store opened in July 1990. The new shopping centre was opened in November 1992 by Edward Bentall (descendant of Frank Bentall) and Nick Price from Norwich Union.
[edit] Unique features
The shopping centre's atrium ceiling is higher than the nave of Westminster Abbey or the dome of St Paul's Cathedral. The original department store's façade was retained.
Another significant feature of the centre is an escalator which travels from the ground to the second floor. It is the largest single truss escalator in the world with only a top and bottom support.
When opened, a statue of Leonard Bentall by William Reid Dick was placed on the top floor looking down across the whole centre. However when Fenwick bought the department store, they moved it to a secondary location as they believed it affected the sight lines into the store.
On opening, the Bentall Centre was the first shopping centre in the UK to adopt a "no smoking" policy throughout.
[edit] Retail units
In July 2007, the shops and restaurants occupying The Bentall Centre included:

In the Spring of 1858, more settlers arrived, including two men by the names of Ruggles and Stevens, who built a cabin on the south bank of the Neosho River and began to sell goods. Later in the year, the two built a frame store building and the Falls House Hotel. Before long, another store building was erected by J. Fisher, who put in a stock of drugs. | Stevens, Peter (I4640)
