24th October, 1951.

Dear Sir,

Thank you for your letter
which I had the honour of laying before
Queen Mary this morning, together with
the copy of your latest book.

Her Majesty was delighted
to accept it and commanded me to thank
you very much indeed for such a charming
gift and to say that it will be of
special interest to her to read
"Victoria's Subjects Travelled".

Yours very truly,

Private Secretary to H.M. Queen Mary
