Lot Sym. Lot Description  
1879 c Image1859-63, 2c Black, Grayish (16). Plate 3-D, Type III (Westerberg Position 1) with raised "I" of "INTER", large margins, tied by red "Postage Paid" oval (applied on arrival) on cover to Bishop Maigret at the Catholic Mission in Honolulu, unusual lengthy address and European size envelope, cover tear at top and some edgewear

VERY FINE APPEARANCE. A BEAUTIFUL EXAMPLE OF THE 1859-63 2-CENT HAWAIIAN NUMERAL TIED BY THE HONOLULU RED "POSTAGE PAID" OVAL ON COVER TO THE CATHOLIC BISHOP.

Louis Maigret (1804-82) served as the first vicar apostolic of the Vicariate Apostolic of the Hawaiian Islands, now the Roman Catholic Diocese of Honolulu. Born in France, Maigret was ordained to the priesthood as a member of the Congregation of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary in September 1828 at the age of 24. As part of his missionary work, Father Maigret sailed to the Kingdom of Hawaii to help build its Catholic community of native Hawaiians. When the Vicar Apostolic of Oriental Oceania, Etienne Jerome Rouchouze, was lost at sea on board the ill-fated Marie Joseph, the Holy See appointed Father Maigret as the first vicar apostolic of the Sandwich Islands in September 1846 at the age of 42. He was officially ordained as a bishop in November 1847. As bishop, Maigret oversaw the construction of what would become his most lasting legacy, the Cathedral of Our Lady of Peace. After his death, Bishop Maigret was entombed in the crypt below the sanctuary (source: Wikipedia).

1880 c Image1865, 5c Blue on Blue, "Hawaiian Postage" (21). Plate 9-A, Types IX-X in pair and single of Type IV (Westerberg Positions 1-2 and 8), large margins to just in, scissors-cut at bottom between stamps of pair, tied by square grids, used with United States 1861-63 3c Rose (65) and 5c Brown (76), tied by cogwheel cancels on cover to Killingworth Conn., red "Honolulu U.S. Postage Paid Mar. 22" (1866) and "San Francisco Cal. Apr. 14" circular datestamps, single 5c tear at upper right, left stamp in pair small flaw at upper left, cover slightly reduced at right and some edgewear

FINE APPEARANCE. ONE OF ONLY TWO RECORDED PAIRS OF THE 1865 5-CENT "HAWAIIAN POSTAGE" NUMERAL ON COVER.

This cover was carried on the bark D. C. Murray, which departed Honolulu on March 22, 1866, and arrived in San Francisco on April 13. The Hawaiian stamps apparently pay the triple 5c rate, but the U.S. stamps pay the double rate plus ship fee (6c plus 2c). The other recorded 5c "Hawaiian Postage" pair on cover was offered in our sale of the Honolulu Advertiser collection. It has the same U.S. postage.
