TLS, one page, 8.25 x 11.75, personal monogrammed letterhead, November 28, 1990. Letter to Lucile Palmaro, in part: “I do not remember—as I am getting very old—about the Sevres coffee service depicting on each cup of the Napoleonic battles. Neither do I remember your kind offer to give it to me for the Napoleonic Museum!! I am most appreciative and touched and it is very sweet of you to offer this for my collection. Of course, I am happy to accept your donation to the Museum, and I am sure a special place will be found for a nice display. I hope you are well, and I am glad to know you finally got rid of your New York apartment which must have become quite a burden for you.” Rainier adds the salutation and closing in his own hand, as well as a brief postscript, “Caroline is still very shocked and the recovery will be long and painful I fear!” In fine condition. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope. Prince Rainier’s comment at the end regarding Princess Caroline relates to the accidental death of her husband Stefano Casiraghi, who had been killed in a tragic powerboat racing accident in October.
