Uncommon ALS signed “Elizabeth,” three pages on two sheets, 4.75 x 7.75, January 19, 1931. Letter to "Doctor Still," hoping to schedule a check-up for the ill four-month-old Princess Margaret. In part: "It was so very kind of you to let me know the name of the Edinburgh specialist—it was for a friend whose child had suddenly got bad glands, & she was in despair about it. I wonder whether you could very kindly look in & see the baby. She has got rather a nasty cough, and as I ought to go away tomorrow for a few days, I would so like to know that you had seen her. I expect that you are very busy, but 10 o'clock or 10.30 tomorrow morning, for between five & 6.30 this evening she will be awake I am sure. She sleeps alright except for a cough now & then, which chokes her a little." She goes on to reference the four-year-old future queen, calling her "Lilibet," in the last paragraph. In fine condition.
