Letters on Hawaii
Manuscripts
Two letters written by Robert Crichton Wyllie from Honolulu and Oahu, Hawaii. In the first, written to Don Antonio Osio (December 21, 1849) in Spanish, Wyllie writes that he has remembered Osio to "the King in his council" (Kamehameka III). He writes that there are those in California who would like to do in Hawaii what "other adventurers have done in Texas," but that foreign governments would not allow the Hawaiian monarchy to be disturbed. The second letter was written to the lawyer John Ricord (December 1, 1854) and includes references to ships' losses in South America and Wyllie's efforts to stop the "depopulation" of native Hawaiians. He writes exensively of a recent event in which he was threatened by "Fillibusters from California" (former gold prospectors led by Samuel Brannan) who wanted Hawaii annexed into the United States, and his supposed raising of a small navy to prevent any attempted takeover.
