Fine long Autograph Letter Signed to “My dear Rose”
saying has “received yr letter last night and am more sorry than I can say to hear the fatal result of yr poor brother in his illness. How too terrible it seems that after escaping so many dangers in Africa where he did such true & loyal service to his Country - that he shd only be restored to his poor wife & family to be snatched away at this early age & his most promising career thus... cut short by this terrible fever - Please tell his poor little widow how very deeply I sympathise with and feel for her under this crushing blow. I am truly sorry that this sad cause shd have prevented yr visit here to which I had. been looking forward to so much but hop at all events we may soon meet. I was also so sorry to hear of yr poor Aunt’s... death - I wish you wd get me that excellent photo of her in a white dress and cap which was so like her...”, 4 sides 8vo.,on mourning paper with purple and black crested monogram at the head, Sandringham, Saturday, no date
