MARY

saying she has received her letter and we accept your resignation with much regret. York Cottage will seem very different without you, after all these years of faithful service, but we quite agree that you have earned a rest & we hope you will live long to enjoy it. I feel sure you will like to have a talk to me about future arrangements; will you therefore come and stay here from Tuesday 12th March till Saturday..., 2 sides 8vo., with original autograph envelope, Buckingham Palace headed paper, 3rd March
