TLS, one page, 6.25 x 8.75, personal royal crest letterhead, December 7, 1946. Letter to Frank MacDonald Reed, in part: “I certainly look forward to seeing you again and to seeing the rough draft of the story we discussed last year. I have to be in Washington next week, but will telephone you upon my return to arrange a date for a meeting mutually convenient. It is very nice to be back in America after more than a year spent in war-torn Europe and our visit to Great Britain was especially interesting. I did not see Lord Halifax as I believe he is enjoying a well-earned retirement in his Yorkshire home.” Handsomely double-matted and framed with a postcard photo of the young Prince of Wales to an overall size of 18 x 15.5, with a window on the reverse for viewing the original mailing envelope. In fine condition, with one stray dot of ink above the royal crest. During the war, the Duke and Duchess—much friendlier with the Nazi regime than Britain was comfortable with—were removed from the fighting and lived in the Bahamas, where Edward was instated as governor.
