1 The Sacramento Union did not publish this news bulletin. It can be updated, however, as follows: Mataio Kekuanaoa (1791–1868)—father of Kamehameha V—recovered, but not until late September; Grace Kamaikui Young Rooke—foster mother of Kamehameha IV’s widow, Emma Naea Rooke (1836–85)—died on 26 July; Princess Ruth Keelikolani (1826–83)—daughter of Mataio Kekuanaoa, half-sister of Kamehameha V, and governess of the island of Hawaii since 1855—although rumored to be seriously ill, had merely sprained her ankle (Korn, 298–99, 302–4; Honolulu Pacific Commercial Advertiser: “Reports having been in circulation . . .” and “Her excellency the Governess of Hawaii . . .,” 7 July 66, 2; “Mrs. Rooke . . .,” 28 July 66, 2; “Notes of the Week,” 21 July 66, 3, 28 July 66, 3, 29 Sept 66, 3). On the back of the sheet on which he composed this telegram and bulletin, Clemens later in August drafted a portion of “How, for Instance?”—a sketch satirizing accident insurance which appeared in the New York Weekly Review on 29 September.
