(Edwina, Countess, 1901-1960, wife of Earl Louis, Chairman of the Red Cross)
Autograph Letter Signed to Miss Eleanor SMITH,
asking her to give May this letter [not present] from me at a suitable moment... just saying how sorry I am that she is 'under the weather' but how glad I am that she has gone to London for treatment, from Dr Dix Perkin's report there is obviously nothing basically wrong - or we hope not - but the usual fears and alarms and lack of balance... I fear you have had a very tiring and testing time - but I think you know how grateful we all are to you for your devotion and constant support to May, ending With warmest remembrances, badge of HMS Surprise at the head, 2 side 4to, Admiralty House, Valletta, Malta, 15th September
