Description

TLS signed “George R. I.,” 7.5 x 9.5, Buckingham Palace letterhead, August 16, 1920. Letter to the Lord Lieutenant of Inverness-shire, in full: “I am anxious that every effort should be made to support Lord Haig's recent appeal on behalf of unemployed Ex-Service Officers and men. This question has doubtless engaged your attention since the early days of Army demobilisation. I should be much interested in any local particulars which you may be able to give me both regarding the numbers still unemployed and the steps taken to deal with such cases. I am confident that, as my Representative, you will do what lies in your power to secure the co-operation of all interests in your County to efface what might be regarded as a reflection on the fair name of our Nation.” In very good to fine condition, with scattered irregular toning.
