Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh Typed letter signed ("Philip") to Peter Stewart

The letter reads "I have just found a letter, which I am afraid that I have not answered, about our Television Set at Windlesham. You are quite right, the Set does crackle, but the cause is well known and is being rectified. How on earth you heard about this I cannot imagine. I cannot thank you enough for all the trouble you have taken over those Candle shades and decanter labels, which really was very self sacrificing of you. I almost forgot to thank you for the book which you sent me the other day. It really is horrifying to think that I went to school at such an extraordinary place", one page, folding marks, 4to, Buckingham Palace, 1 May 1948.
