THE QUEEN WRITES TO HER HOUSEKEEPER
MARY
(of Teck, 1867-1953, Queen of George V)
Fine Autograph Letter Signed (Mary R) to "Dear Jeannie", (Mrs McKay, housekeeper at York Cottage)
saying that she has "arranged with Ellen that she is to go to the Cottage on Monday ... to take over from you & we hope you will remain on at York Cottage till July 1st. Perhaps you had better put Ellen into Emily Neller's room on your floor just for the time. When you leave we hope you will take your bed & mattress, the sofa which was got specially for you & which I know you like, the curtains and carpet & the cushions of your chairs as they all match & you will like to have something to remind you of your old room. It is a great grief to us that you are leaving after all these years, but I am sure the rest will be good for you & you will not then have all the little minor worries you had at the Cottage. We have just returned to London after spending 5 weeks at Windsor, only the weather was perfectly dreadful ...", 4 sides 8vo., on Buckingham Palace headed paper with red embossed heading, 14th May
