The Queen Consort writes Sir Alfred Fripp. In full: “I feel that no words can sufficiently express how delighted I am with the beautiful old cabinet which the past and present Members of the Royal Households have so kindly given me as a Wedding Present. As I have known from childhood so many of those who joined in this charming gift, I am sure it will always recall to me the happy years of my home life, and I thank you all most heartily.” Scattered creasing and show-through from a strip of mounting paper at the top of the page, otherwise fine condition.
