Letters to William Lee, [1897]-1898.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122552040

The letters authored by Queen Liliuokalani were written to her husband's cousin William Lee, of Lee and Shephard Publishers, while she was visiting Washington D.C. These letters deal chiefly with her book Hawaii's story by Hawaii's Queen. Liliuokalani asks Lee questions about copyright and strategies for selling the book. She also writes that she is going to sign three copies and send them to Queen Victoria, President William McKinley and Grover Cleveland; one letter mentions Gerrit P. Judd and Richard Armstrong.
