Sir George Chetwynd and The Prince of Wales, the historically interesting letters from the Prince of Wales (2) and one other to Sir George Chetwynd regarding Lillie Langtry. The Prince of Wales letters are undated but marked Thursday and with envelope postmarked January 25th 1883, the other January 11th and with envelope postmarked January 11th 1883. The first mentioning "Mrs. L." and giving extensive comments and opinions on her on three pages: the second remarking that he was "sorry to hear what you tell me but am not surprised". The third letter, although anonymous, is quite astonishing and frank from an unknown hand but obviously known to Sir George Chetwynd. It is undated and addressed but with envelope postmarked July 26th 1882 stating that "Why do you allow yourself to be made such a fool of - don't you know that your Langtry friend is only making use of you to cover up the scandal between her and the Prince. Don't you know she has a child by him and that her maid Dominique is now taking charge of it. She had it in Paris - Doctor Pratt can tell you all about it. The Princess has heard about it and there has been a nice row. They are afraid of it getting to the Queen. The game is to get her name mixed up with someone else to cover the Prince and you are the willing victim. She cares no more for you than she does for me - she will get all she can out of you. I know her tricks. Don't be a fool. She only laughs at you behind your back - "
