MOUNTBATTEN DISCUSSING HIS ANCESTRY WITH HUGH MASSINGBERD
MOUNTBATTEN
(Earl Louis, of Burma, 1900-1979, Admiral of the Fleet, Victoria’s Great Grandson)
Long Typed Letter Signed with autograph salutation and subscription to Mr Montgomery-Massingberd
apologising that he has “been very remiss in writing again since my visit to Germany which I told you about in my letter of 10th September. I went there in November and. had a good talk with Dr. Franz, the state archivist, and also with the Princess of Hesse, and they undertook to have all possible gaps filled in that they knew about and return the manuscript to you. I hope they did so... I did undertake to correct the things referring to my immediate family as I am in a better position to help and I return your manuscript with my pencil corrections or suggestions. If you have any doubt about what I have written please don’t hesitate to send the page back to me for clarification. As regards my cousin, Lady Iris Kemp (page 32) I am afraid I cannot fill in all the gaps but I suggest that you should write to her at her address in Toronto... I am in regular touch with her but mainly on the telephone as she is a bad writing correspondent. I therefore suggest that... set out the questions in the form of a format, you will probably get an answer. You can quote me... although she took back the name Lady Iris Mountbatten originally... she now calls herself Lady Iris Kemp. I shall, of course, want to get a copy of Burke’s Royal Families of the World, Volume 1, when it is published... Finally I should have explained to you that when I came back from Germany with all your manuscript pages, they were packed in my ordinary luggage and not in my despatch case and got put aside by mistake. They were found the other day - hence the delay...”, 2 sides 4to., Broadlands headed paper, together with seven pages of the annotated manuscript that he is referring to, 29th January
