Notes:
1. A.O. Forbes - Anderson Oliver Forbes, born in Hawaiʻi, was a pastor at Kaluaʻaha and
then Kaumakapili Church. He was secretary of the Board of the Hawaiian Evangelical
Association at the time of this letter.
2. H.R.H. Princess Liliuokalani - Her Royal Highness Princess Liliʻuokalani was sister to
the sovereign, King David Kalākaua, and his designated heir at the time of this letter.
3. about 1887 - Either this letter was not dated or any dated covering went unpreserved. A
note in the top right corner in a different hand, likely an archivist's, suggests it might have
been penned “about 1887.”
