CONDE, REV. DANIEL L. "REPORT," 1858. 1 folder
This small collection contains a photocopy of a 16-page handwritten "Report on the Case of Rev. Daniel L. Conde," adopted October 12, 1858, by a subcommittee of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions, comprised of Henry Hill, R. Anderson, and James M. Gordon. At issue for the subcommittee was Rev. Conde's ownership of the Alexander property in Wailuku, and the Board's desire to have him convey the property to the Board in return for a release from his connection with the Board, a sum of $1,200, and the cost of passage home to the United States for himself and his family. The property consisted of a stone house on two acres, irrigated, and surrounded by a stone wall, valued at $2,200, with about a dozen taro patches and 186 acres of pasture, all valued at $2,486. The difficulty originated in an apparent miscommunication or misunderstanding about whether Rev. Conde intended to stay in the Islands, which was a condition for receiving the deed to the property. The Board refused to recognize Rev. Conde's claim to the property, which was inhabited by Alexander.
The Report discusses the background and issues surrounding the property and Rev. Conde's work at the Wailuku mission, analyzes the agreement reached, and presents the subcommittee's final recommendation.
