ALS signed “VR,” four pages on two adjoining sheets, 4.5 x 7, black-bordered Buckingham Palace mourning letterhead, March 5, 1869. Victoria writes to Lady De LaWare. In part: “I little thought when I wrote to you a very short while ago, that I should have to express to you my deepest, warmest & most heartfelt sympathy on a…severe blow…[and] loss—that of your beloved partner in life!… I cannot express adequately my sense of your sorrow—your irreparable loss!… May God support & comfort you as He alone can & may the blessed thought of his happiness & of the future reunion where there are now tears or partings sustain you!” Faint marginal paperclip stain to one page and slight offsetting of printed heading touching a few words of text, otherwise fine condition. Handwritten letters from any monarch are scarce, particularly with such raw and heartfelt content as the letter offered here.
