383°   The Hawaiian Correspondence of Dr. Gerrit Parmele Judd. Dr. Judd (1803-73) was one of the most influential whites in the growth and development of Hawaii. Arriving in 1828 as a medical missionary, he subsequently became involved in the Hawaiian government as the close advisor and official in King Kamehameha’s reign. While not registered as a missionary, Dr. Judd was part of the Third Missionary Company, who sailed aboard the ship Parthian, arriving in Honolulu on Mar. 30, 1828. This lot comprises two very early letters from Honolulu, dated Oct. 20 and Nov. 1, 1829, to his father and sister in Clinton and Hastings N.Y., respectively, the former with three pages of commentary about family, aging, the death of his grandmother and "work among the Heathens", the latter comprising two letters from his wife Laura Judd and one from Dr. Judd, each a page in length, describing "comfortable house, comfortably furnished, comfortable food, and comfortable clothing...But this is not all -- a wide and effectual door is opened unto us among the heathen." Accompanying these two early Missionary letters are two others written within the U.S. in 1824 and 1825, and two letters from Hawaii written in 1860 and 1868 by Dr. Judd's mother, the latter with information about the family, local churches in Honolulu, etc. The last item is a CDV of Frank Judd (one of Dr. Judd's sons). There are minor faults, and, although no postal markings are present, this is a significant correspondence from a major figure in the early history of Hawaii. E. 3,000-4,000

Jul. ?, 1893" circular datestamp, fresh and Extremely Fine, we believe this to be a newly-reported Provisional Government overprint on Scott 38 as opposed to the 1886 Rose shade (Scott 43), according to the Post Offices in Paradise website, as overprinting progressed, some post offices returned unoverprinted stamps to Honolulu for overprinting, including older printings -- such stamps are very rare, and this 2c Lilac Rose is not among those listed by Gregory (Image) E. 1,000-1,500

388° c imageWells, Fargo & Co.'s Express, Paid, Honolulu, H.I.

FINE. A RARE PRECURSOR OF THE WELLS, FARGO & COMPANY PRINTED FRANK FOR THEIR HAWAIIAN EXPRESS ROUTE.

This form of Wells, Fargo & Co. cover was used shortly after agent George Ashley reopened an office in Honolulu on August 3, 1883. This cover went with the first group of mail prepared by Ashley, on the Hankow, which departed August 15. This may be the earliest known cover from the second period.
