Autograph Letter signed to Anne
thanking her for inviting me last week - I'm only so sorry that you weren't there and I do hope you are well and truly on the mend by now. One of your offspring did think you wee feeling better as he noted signed of bad temper creeping through - which could only be a good sign. Richard gave me one or two useful hints about what not to say in Australia which is always valuable! It was very kind of him to put up with me and I' be very grateful if you could thank him for me and indeed Simon as well for the way they looked after me.. and sending her best wishes for Christmas and a speedy recovery, 2 sides 4to., Newhouse, Ashford, Kent, 21st December no year
Background
Anne's first tour of Australia was with her parents in 1970, since which she has returned on numerous occasions to undertake official engagements as a colonel-in-chief of an Australian regiment, or to attend memorials and services, such as the National Memorial Service for victims of the Black Saturday bushfires in Melbourne, Australia, on 22 February 2009. This would have been shortly before one of her visits possibly in the 1980s.
