The Prince, writing in bold pencil, announces 'What must you think of your little boy always writing at the hour of 2.00 AM but the fact is & I have to confess it that I've been dancing again angel tho only here & so you can imagine it was pompous enough!!….the 2 Cavendish girls are very plain darling tho of course I have to dance with them staying in the house!! The Duchess is a pompous & terrifying woman tho I don't let her worry me now tho she did worry me at Quebec a little; she's so officious & interfering & she has no right to be that!!' and continues to refer to his work in Canada, 'yesterday was a gt. strain sweetheart as I spent the morning sweating up that terrible speech would I had to make at the Govt. lunch & which took years off my life & it was a dry lunch too!! But I struggled thro it somehow without a crash & it seemed to go down all right with Devonshire, Borden & the other ministers!! Of course Grigg really wrote the speech as it was about the most important I've got to make this trip & its some relief to have it behind me!!' as well as his leisure activities, 'I was able to dash out to the golf club about 5.00 & play 16 holes with Legh before dinner tho of course I can't give him a game; your little boy's golf is getting worse & worse sweetheart & he's no longer fit to take even the worst players on so he just plays round for exercise!! Its very pathetic as I love the game tho of course its impossible to hit the ball when one's nerves are in the state that mine are nowadays!!' The Prince continues his letter a day later, stating that he had to finish dancing at midnight, proclaiming 'But Christ is does infuriate me not because I want to carry on dancing but because of the childishness of all this religious camouflage; they are taking me to church in the morning & they won't let me play golf in the afternoon!! Still I made up my mind to leave England officially & to remain so till I returned & tho its maddening sometimes darling I've more or less got used to it now tho no one realises better than you how hard it is for your little boy sometimes!!' and again returns to the subject of golf, expressing his approval of the Golf Club 'where I meet a lot of old Canadian war friends, returned officers who are very hospitable & give one a good time' before continuing in a romantic vein, 'how can I enjoy anything without YOU? It just isn't in me!! Particularly as it was Sunday & I did miss & want my precious beloved little Madonna so so fearfully!! No other woman in this world can produce a grain of attraction, interest, excitement or anything else for your very own little boy sweetheart & the only slightest use I have for only just a very very view that I meet is to dance with them. I can't be bothered to talk to them tho sometimes they say the most pricelessly funny things to me which merely make me laugh in their faces instead of making love to them which they are often just asking me to do!!!!….And God how they do bore me tho the only thing to do is just to let them carry on; they not only ask me for autographs but also shove my cigarette ends down (well you can guess where angel!!)' The Prince concludes his letter by asking his mistress to send him some photographs of herself, 'I'm just pining & longing for some tho you know that all right your poor little boy does love you love you so so madly sweetheart that he's almost going mad!!' A letter of excellent content. VG
