He married a cousin of mine, Dynan Erroll, so I suppose that he knows what he is talking about , and in any case he has always been interested in heraldry. I have a question ... Can you tell me whether the late Duke of Alba was the nephew or the great-nephew of the Empress Eugenie ... was he the son or the grandson of the Empress's sister Paca? ..." with an autograph postscript on the verso "I do feel with you over your trials with E.E.! and the loss of all your precious documents & books ...", 2 sides 8vo., with original autograph envelope, Sissinghurst Castle headed paper, 7th March
