ELIZABETH
(The Queen Mother, 1900-2002, Queen of George VI)
Remarkable collection of Autograph Letters Signed to Lady Cynthia ASQUITH
(née Charteris, 1887-1960, Writer and Socialite) comprising 62 sides of handwriting, being 10 complete letters, 5 incomplete ones and a 10 pages essay in the third person about her childhood, the letters largely relate to the book which Lady Asquith wrote about the Queen Mother, ‘The Family Life of the Queen Mother’, published in 1937, she talks about her trips to Scotland and Australia and gives very personal details about her personal likes and dislikes and mentions details that she would prefer not to be included, at one point she talks about “Hutchinsons are producing a revolting concoction by a woman called Mrs Lascelles. An intimate peep into the daily lives of the Duke & Duchess of York by one who is really in the know etc. I shudder don’t you? It is a little hard not to be asked anything, permission by either author or publisher & only pray that it does not make me have breakfast... wearing pink satin pyjamas...”, - this is referring to G. S. Lascelles 1937 book which was subtitled “an intimate, authentic and authoritative biography by an author who has been given inside knowledge”. It originally appeared under the author's name with the title of ‘Our Duke and Duchess’. In another letter she says “It was so kind of you to write me such a delicious letter about your tea with Lilibet. I am so glad that you enjoyed it, and it really was nice of you to say such heart warming things about her. I sometimes wish that I did not lover her so much. I cannot tell you how sorry I am to hear that your husband is so ill. There is NOTHING worse than illness and it has a devastating effect on ones life...”, all the letters except the last one that was written in 1950 range from 1927 to
the collection has been very badly water damaged with some loss of text but it has been professionally restored and the individual pages have been mounted in acid free paper and bound in an attractive red morocco book
