AN EXTREMELY RARE AND UNUSUAL HAWAIIAN AND UNITED STATES
MIXED FRANKING.
This cover is from the Fifth Sub-Period of the Late Treaty Period. As a double-rate cover, the 5¢ Hawaiian postage correctly prepays two-times the 5¢ rate, but the U.S. postage was underpaid at 8¢. The sender
perhaps thought the rate was only two-times the 3¢ letter rate plus the 2¢ ship fee. (Image1) |

reception, and now everything is change into mourning. The arches that were built are now hung in black. All stores are draped and the Palace and Government House are beautifully decoration or at least hung in black. The news was such a sudden shock
that we could hardly realize it but when the Charleston appeared in the harbor draped in mourning and the casket was brought from the ship to the palace, the native wailed very piteously and the Queen's grief as she saw the coffin turned the
hardest of hearts. She wrung her hand and seemed as though her grief was more than she could bear. I saw the King lie and the coffin given to him by the American Govmnt is very elaborate being heavenly draped in black velvet. He is to be buried next
Sunday and will have a grand funeral. I will write again and tell you all about it. We feel very sorry. He was such a kind man, and many secret acts of kindness will be remembered. The present Queen is a more dignified person and will no doubt hold
her position well…"; no flap and edge faults, Fine.
