Selection of A.Ls.S., Paul, (and two with initials, Much love, as ever, P xx and Love P xx), eighteen pages (total), 4to and 8vo, various places (mainly London), 7th June - 17th December 1982, to Michael Hillard, most on the printed stationery of either Buckingham Palace, Balmoral Castle or Windsor Castle. Burrell writes a series of social letters to his friend, some with interesting content, in part, 'I had a lovely week in Edinburgh - very quiet, due to the absence of my "little ones", but I had more time for private engagements. I opened a new little pub called the "Laughing Duck" - such a friendly, happy place - everyone was "so kind" and attentive. Then on another evening I opened a new "dance centre" dedicated to the "performing arts" - but my dear, there wasn't a tulle frock or sequin in sight - black leather seems to be the predominant dress for this season, trimmed in silver chains. I was always accompanied of course by my L.I.W's [Ladies/Lords-in-Waiting] - one has to be chaperoned, especially as I wasn't really "fit to receive "private" audiences!!!" (Buckingham Palace, 6th July 1982), 'The most awful thing has happened!! My very best tapes which I recorded for my walkman for use at Balmoral aren't any good....Would you be an absolute dream and re-record these tapes for me - my very best and only favourite artistes! I'm lost without Shirley, Dionne & Roberta - not to mention not being able to listen to "Making Love"'(Balmoral Castle, 9th August 1982), 'Received your despatch from the "Metropolis" this morning and after snatching "mon neuf petit chien" from Lilibet's one and only hands - made for the woods, where my babies "et moi" could read all your news. I'm sure that the Queen could hear me laughing when I read your comment regarding the photo on the card....Charles' little willie is misbehaving - keeps being sick everywhere - and cries...and cries...and cries! I think that the novelty with Granny has worn off (orf). Queen Elizabeth arrives tomorrow from the Castle of Mey...Geordie, one of "Mummys" corgis is very ill - and may die. "But there's no way she will have him put down" the Queen said to Margot - to which her reply was - with a puff on her cigarette (with holder) - "Well, perhaps he'll pop orf in the night....!"....I desperately want to see two movies - "E.T" and "Conan....the Barbarian"....Could you possibly book me a hair appointment....' (Balmoral Castle, 24th August 1982). Three of the letters are accompanied by the original envelopes hand addressed by Burrell. G to generally VG, 6

Burrell writes a series of social letters to his friend, some with interesting content, in part, 'As I sit here at my desk, listening to the band of the Grenadier Guards play beneath my bedroom window, I wonder where you are and what you might be doing. It would be so nice to have you in town for my birthday tomorrow...I just had the most horrific shock! The lovely letter which you wrote me from Abu Dhabi had been packed with my livery for next weeks Reagan visit at Windsor. Thank goodness my hat boxes and wardrobe trunks are still outside my door and are not being trundled to Windsor by the Army!....I had a super day at the Derby on the 2nd with the Queen - even though we had thunderstorms during luncheon....the rain stopped in time for Lilibet and Mummy to squelch their way down to the paddock to see the horses. Today, Saturday, is a beautiful warm sunny day, so after I have been "pumping", I'm off on the roof for a few hours of "bronzy bronzy". It won't be any match for your tan though' (Buckingham Palace, 5th June 1982), 'I have been having a super birthday party and "several" wonderful surprises!!....Lunch was for 4, which included your little friend "Scooby Doo" - isn't he lovely?? Such a shame he had to leave to meet some previously arranged "date". Ah well!.....The flowers are so beautiful - I don't want them to die!!....They're all in a beautiful bouquet - with a huge bow and fishtails! Thank you Michael - you're so thoughtful! I'm leaving here tonight to travel to Windsor. How on earth can I carry my flowers past the guards!! I must get Penny - our florist to arrange them nicely for me. The Queen would be green if she saw them!' (Ealing, 6th June 1982), 'Last nights "fancy dress", judged by "Ed & Sarah" was a great success - Diana's dresser et "moi" came 2nd - dressed as clowns. Sarah informed me that she chose the 2nd - Ed, of course chose the 1st! One wonders whether she favoured "moi"....Looking forward to seeing you on Thursday afternoon - we'll have a good chat under the dryer!' (Balmoral Castle, 31st August 1982), 'It was good to be back with ones very best and only friends, after what seems like an eternity away in far flung corners of the empire....Enclosed are your tickets for the viewing of "Beatrix the Bolds" arrival at Buckingham Palace. I do hope that Bo can make it....She will go "Ga-Ga" like poor old Wallis in the Bois de Boulogne and turn into a vegetable.' (Buckingham Palace, 11th November 1982). Two of the letters are accompanied by the original envelopes hand addressed by Burrell. G (1), otherwise VG, 5
