Businessman, diplomat. Correspondence, journals, notes, photographs, clippings, memorabilia and printed matter almost all relating to his trip around the world with King Kalakaua of Hawaii in 1881.

His career as a chairman of the Hawaiian Labor Commission and advisor to the government between 1893 and 1903, when he returned to Washington, is documented in his journals. These form a complete sequence from 1886 to 1905. The large number of photographs record the trip around the world pictorially and also contain views of Hawaii around the turn of the century.
