ALS signed “Edward,” one thin page, 7.25 x 10.25, Moulin de la Tuilerie letterhead, December 31, 1958. Edwards writes to Rosie Chisholm, in full: “Thank you and Hugh a lot for my lovely Christmas present—You just couldn’t have given me anything nicer or more practical as now you and our friends will be spared the unattractive sight of the appearance of that sticky little package of peppermints at the end of dinner parties!! Your thought of me is more than appreciated as was the prompt payment of F. Frs. 3,000.00 which I somewhat slyly won from you at Canasta I’m afraid by subtly talking you into a new deal for the last hand! The Duchess & I hope you are enjoying Mittersill and that the weather is good for all that there is to do there at Kitzbuhel. Viel Gluck im Neuen Yahr.”Scattered creasing, otherwise fine condition. A scarce example, this crisp letter bears mention of his controversial wife, the Duchess, and concludes with a German sentiment, drawing on the Duke’s even more controversial ties to Nazi Germany. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope, addressed in his hand, and an unsigned photo of Edward as King.
