Description
POMARE IV: (1813-1877) Queen of Tahiti 1827-77. L.S., Pomare, two pages, 4to, on board Her Majesty's Ship (HMS Basilisk, whilst in exile at Raiatea), 1st March 1844, to [George] Pritchard, in Tahitian. In the manuscript letter the Queen requests that her correspondent speaks to the Captain of a steam vessel regarding her boxes and whether or not they can be taken on board, explaining 'They are now wet with the rain, and they so fill up the place that we cannot well sleep', further reinforcing her request, 'You and Captain Hunt speak about it, and if it be agreeable to Captain Gordon, you two make it known to me. If it be not agreeable to you two that our boxes should be taken on board that ship, be it so; if it should be agreeable to you two, say so, that I may know it'. With a contemporary English translation penned to the integral leaf and with the integral address panel. Some very light, extremely minor age wear, VG
