2190 tons of Guano on board. She was a mon¬ 
strous ship to be loaded at this season of the 
year. But we have been more successful than 
I expected. The Fair Wind is now loading— 
What with losing, and replacing moorings, &c 
I have my hands full. But it has not been as 
bad as it was last winter. 
Its awful having to provide for so many, 
down here, thirteen mouths to feed besides the 
natives! Atung is “a perfect brick”! and I am 
saved the troubles with Foreign Cooks, as form¬ 
erly. I am thankful for that. 
I have written to Father to put in your hands, 
in Gold, one hundred dollars, a birthday present 
from Emmie Julie and I, to our Mother (and 
Grandmother, from Julie) 
I wish I was able to make it a hundred 
thousand. 
Emmie is writing to you herself and will re¬ 
port her own affairs. 
Believe me Mother to be ever your affection¬ 
ate son

NOTES FOR REFERENCE 
* p. 6. Laura Fish Judd records in her booh the 
arrival of Mr. A. B. Bates and family on June 28, 
1848. She says, “My husband’s sister parted with us 
at the old homestead in Oneida County twenty-one 
years ago, little dreaming we should meet again at 
the Sandwich Islands.” Elizabeth Gertrude Judd and 
Asher Brown Bates were married in Troy, Michigan, 
whither Dr. and Mrs. Elnathan Judd had removed 
from Paris, New York. Some years after the death 
of her husband in 1845, Mrs. Judd (Betsey Hastings) 
with her daughter Harriet B. came to Honolulu to 
live with the G. P. Judds at Sweet Home. 
Judge Asher B. Bates occupied several positions 
in the early government of Hawaii. He was a mem¬ 
ber of the Privy Council and the Government Attor¬ 
ney and Law Advisor to the Crown for some years. 
The family removed later to San Francisco, where 
a daughter, Lucilla, was married to Mr. Theodore 
Smith. Mr. Bates died June 1, 1873, and the San 
Francisco Commercial Herald of June 6 relates that 
“The high reputation as a jurist which he achieved 
whik* yet a young man obtained for him the respon- 
f m ftmrn to the Hawaiian 
he mmMmi i©y fourteen years,’'’ 
** /» true, tinner* Christian gentle- 
***&. a type of the American,” etc. He was 
bam in Le It of. New York, May 2, 1810. Mr. Bates 
is referred to in the diary as Uncle, Mrs. Bates as 
Aunt Libby, and Dudley is a son by Mr. Bates’ 
former marriage. 
L. F. J. also says that after Mr. and Mrs. Cooke 
left the Royal School, returning to the Mission: “The 
princes Lot and Alexander are removed and board 
with Mr. and Mrs. Bates in Nuuanu Valley.”
