In a small room on the first floor of The Queen’s Medical Center, Pauahi Tower, is a small room containing artifacts and documents of historical importance.
One such document is a letter written by Alexander Liholiho when he was 12 years old.
Liholiho, later to be known as King Kamehameha IV, and his wife, Queen Emma, founded The Queen’s Hospital in 1859.
I stumbled upon this room and the fascinating letter during a little sojourn to the hospital’s dining room in the Harkness Building.
It would have been even more fascinating had I been able to make out what was written in the letter. But as a collector and someone who appreciates historical relics, I am fortunate to have even seen the document.
