Wonderfully early ALS signed “Margaret & Elizabeth,” one page, 4.75 x 7.5, Sandringham, Norfolk stationery letterhead, January 1, 1935. Letter to Lady Weigall, in full: "Thank you very much for the lovely little bags you sent us. They will be very useful. I hope you will have a Happy New Year." Signed at the conclusion by the eight-year-old Princess Elizabeth, who signs on behalf of her four-year-old sister, Princess Margaret. In fine condition, with light show-through at the top and bottom edges from old tape on the reverse. A remarkably early letter from the future Queen of England, penned when she was third in the line of succession to the throne; when her uncle, Edward, Prince of Wales, abdicated the following year, Elizabeth became the heiress presumptive.
