Description
GEORGE V: (1865-1936) King of the United Kingdom 1910-36. A.L.S., George, as Prince of Wales, four pages, 8vo, Marlborough House, 11th May 1903, to 'My dear Bishop'. The Prince thanks his correspondent for their kind letter 'giving me an account of my sister's visit to the “Boscawen” which interested me very much' and adds 'I am glad you also lunched with her on board the “Osborne”. The cruise I think has done her much good, she wanted a rest & change, the sea air always agrees with her so well. I am glad you liked the Derek Keppels, he has been my Equerry for 10 years, I know they have been taking good care of my sister during her cruise.' The Prince further informs the Bishop, 'The King & Queen start this morning for Edinburgh, his visits to Lisbon, Gibr., Malta, Rome & Paris were indeed most successful in every way, but it was very hard work' and asks 'I wonder if you have found the kind person to give you £10,000 yet? Have you had interviews with Ld. Rosebery or Mr. Chamberlain yet?'. He also comments on his own immediate plans, 'The Princess & I are very busy now & have many functions before us. We start for Yorkshire this afternoon & have several functions to carry out tomorrow in Hull. The children are all very well, the three elder ones are busy at the lessons with Hansell.' A letter of good content relating to the Prince's family. VG
The Prince's correspondent is most likely Charles Corfe (1843-1921) Royal Naval Chaplain and the inaugural Bishop in Korea 1889-1904.
