GEORGE V
(1865-1936, King of Great Britain)
Fine Autograph Letter Signed as King to "My dear Eddy"
(Edward George Villiers Stanley, 17th Earl of Derby, 1865-1948, Soldier, Politician, Diplomat and Racehorse owner, twice Secretary of State for War and Ambassador to France) saying how much "the Queen & I enjoyed our delightful visit to Knowsley. We can't thank you & Alice enough for all your kindness & hospitality. Your party was a charming one & your French friends were so nice and fitted in so well with the others. I congratulate you on the splendid arrangements you made for the comfort of your guests & I know well all the labour they entailed. We had a most comfortable journey yesterday ... I have not yet been able to see the Prime Minister but Stamfordham saw him yesterday & told him from me what Walsh & the other two had said about the decontrol of the mines being delayed for a month or 6 weeks. He said that he could do nothing till Harne came home, in whose hands the matter lay, & that it would cost the country 5 millions a month. I hope you will be able to see him tomorrow & explain matters, those three men are sincere & loyal and one wants to help them in their difficult task if possible ...", 4 sides 8vo., Buckingham Palace headed paper, 22nd March
