Description

Third-person ALS signed within the text “The Queen,” four pages on two adjoining sheets, 4.5 x 7, black-bordered Windsor Castle letterhead, November 28, 1867. Handwritten letter addressed to Sir John Cowell, in part: "Tho' Sir Thomas Biddulph will have told Sir. J. Cowell often…she takes in the event…he has announced thro' him to her she is anxious to repeat herself to one whom she has known so long & whose services she has had such good reason to value, her warmest wishes for his happiness thro' a long life. The Queen hears everything that is to be liked & wished for of the young lady—& she does not doubt of her good fortune in finding so good & kind husband as Sir John is sure to make. But she cannot help fearing that he will find his domestic comfort much broken into by his present duties, as they will take him so much away from home. Most truly glad however should she be were she to find herself mistaken on this point, as she wd. regret losing Sir John's valuable services." In fine condition.
