MACARTNEY CHARLIE: (1886-1958) Australian Cricketer. T.L.S., Charles, two pages, 4to, Sydney, Australia, 27th September 1954, to 'My dear Billy'. Macartney writes a largely social letter to his friend, discussing their individual health issues, commenting on his recreational activities including tennis and bowls ('I cannot bring myself to play the game. It is very skilful I admit, but I prefer to get more exercise out of a game, and bowls always seems to me to be far too monotonous') and also writing of cricket, 'Your opinions of the English touring Cricket side are rather pessimistic; not that I can quarrel with them, as I don't know enough about them to contradict. Still, I think that our men will have a battle if they want to win, as our fellows are not as strong as might be quoted. Of course, on our wickets - especially now that they are to be covered - fastish bowling is not so difficult to thrash, not that we have many thrashers. I am sorry that the coming side is not too strong in fielding; that seems to be the general opinion. Fielding of fine quality can make a tremendous difference to any attack, and most English teams of the past have been superior in this department. Anyhow, I hope like you, that we will have some good cricket, and absolutely free from any unpleasant incidents', further sending congratulations to his correspondent's daughter for being elected as Hockey Captain of England abroad and briefly also referring to the Scarborough Festival and various counties not having enjoyed a good season financially, which he feels could be due to the bad weather, '....I often feel convinced that the Atom bomb explosions are largely responsible for the changeable and violent weather which affects every country in the world....Scientists say that this is wrong, that the explosions do not affect the weather. I'm afraid that I cannot agree with them'. A letter of interesting content. VG

EDWARD VIII: (1894-1972) King of the United Kingdom January - December 1936. Later Duke of Windsor. A lengthy A.L.S., with his initial E, followed by an acronym "I.S.Y.C.T.H.N.O.M.A.E.A.A.O.Y.", two pages, 4to, Headquarters, Australian Corps, 28th December 1918, to his mistress Freda Dudley Ward ('My very own beloved little sweetheart'), in pencil. The Prince writes a largely social, and at times romantic, letter to his mistress, describing his military duties and other events, in part, 'Please forgive me beloved one tho I'm so so distressed to hear that it was a case of 9 days sans signe de MOI; what can have happened to my letters as does my darling little girl really think that I wld let 9 days elapse without writing to HER. I wrote on the 9th Dec & then again on 14th & 16th & 18th & 20th of last week - this K.M. is a rotten “stunt” sweetheart as even your letter of 21st only reached me today; how my 5 days silence can become 9 days silence to TOI is more than I can understand & it just makes me mad tho. of course I am hundreds of miles from G.H.Q at the MONTREUIL nowadays & D.R's take much longer.....Alas still no news or signs of the grey stockings from Paris & I'm just mad; I thought the woman in the shop said “quatre jours” she must have said “quatre semaines” & those divine little grey shoesies must be “demodes” or worn out by now!! Other things must wait till I go to Paris beloved one which wont be till about last week in Jan darling as I'm staying out here a fortnight longer so as to be able to visit more DIVS + see more troops before they demobilise which is when to get the men and my best time to 'canvas' so to speak.....I left 4th Army on Thurs morning which I spent with the S. African Bde (66th DIV) 20 miles E of the Meuse & I had to inspect all 3 batts lunching at the B H.Q. Rather heavy as the DIV comm & 10th Corps comm (Stephens) insisted on coming right around too which bored me a bit!! Yesterday & today I've been attending Australian parades & giving more medals, 250 in all; yesterday was just about the limit as regards the weather…..I've just returned from dining at 1st Aust DIV H.Q. a fairly tough crowd of “hard cases” tho. d-d good fellows in their way & they are all very nice & kind to me tho they are not Canadians; it's funny what a difference there is between them tho.....', also sending some photographs (no longer present) which 'are only for the waste paper basket darling tho. they may amuse you to look at!!' and explaining 'The funny little man standing behind me in the Burbury is Gen. Hobbs, the C.C. & doesn't he make you laugh: of course he's the biggest joke in the whole Corps tho a dear little man in his way! But I get very fed up with him at times as besides having to sit next to him every night at supper, he insists in taking me in his car to all these parades & so I spend hours with him each day & he's so impossible for MOI to talk to as he's such a hopeless 'prude' tho I've got a good deal of useful & interesting stuff re Australia out of him!! Nunn also appears in the photo's: he's a good cheery fellow & a 'gent' as the Australians go & game for anything & a great help to Claud & MOI as he knows everybody'. In concluding the Prince writes 'bonne nuit my very own darling beloved little sweetheart....very best wishes for every possible nice thing for the New Year! Again how how happy your last delicious letter & the photo have made your E tho how how miserable he is for that long silence & all the false accusations & again he pleads forgiveness!!....' Accompanied by the original envelope hand addressed in ink by the Prince and re-directed to Dudley Ward in Radcliffe-on-Trent, Nottingham. With a red wax seal to the verso. VG Freda Dudley Ward (1894-1983) Marquesa de Casa Maury. English Socialite, the mistress of Edward, Prince of Wales from 1918-23. Ward remained a close confidante of Edward's until 1934 when his relationship with Wallis Simpson began.

'I am anxious that you should know the truth' EDWARD, DUKE OF WINDSOR: (1894-1972) King of the United Kingdom January - December 1936. A highly important T.L.S., Edward, two pages, 4to, Boulevard Suchet, Paris, 13th March 1939, to Lord Beaverbrook ('My dear Beaverbrook'), on the Duke's personal monogrammed stationery, marked 'Private and Confidential' and with four holograph additions to the text. The Duke announces 'I feel it both important and urgent to draw your attention to the comments on the Duchess and myself which appeared in the Londoner's Log of yesterday's issue of the "Sunday Express"' and adds that while he appreciates the general tone of the article, it contained two definite misstatements which 'confuse the whole situation', further explaining 'Knowing that it is not your intention that anything published in your newspapers should create a false impression which could react adversely upon the Duchess and myself, I think that you may wish to dispel the one created in yesterday's Sunday Express, as soon as and in whatever form you judge to be consistent with "good timing" and dignity.' The Duke continues 'Of course you know as well as I do, that it is for no other reason than for fear lest the attitude my mother and sister-in-law seem likely to adopt towards my wife may provoke some controversy in England and adverse criticism of them in America, that I have been advised to postpone our projected visit to England this Spring, until after the King and Queen's official journey to Canada and the United States. In accordance with the policy of playing my brother's game, I have agreed to another postponement, but, believe me, for the last time.' He concludes 'I know I need not stress the highly confidential nature of this letter, or the grave danger of the information it contains ever being traced back to me. But as I look upon you as one of our staunchest supportest (sic) I am anxious that you should know the truth.' Together with an enclosure originally accompanied by the letter, being a typescript of the two misstatements contained in The Londoner's Log of the Sunday Express which the Duke refers to in his letter, and with his responses, in full, '1. "He lives as a refugee in France not because of the laws of England prevent his return, but because he wishes to do so". While the Duchess and I have received the greatest courtesy in all the countries, especially France, where we have resided since our marriage, I have not lived out of England for over two years by preference. It is true that there exists no law to prevent my returning to my country whenever I wish to do so, but I have remained away out of deference to my brother in order to leave the field clear for him to establish himself on the throne, which it is admitted he has succeeded in doing. 2. "The Duke has set his own conditions of return. He requires that the Duchess of Windsor shall be accorded the title of Royal Highness, and that she shall be received by both the Queens. Until these requests are granted, the Duke has announced that he will not set foot in England". I have never made any such announcement nor would I ever set conditions upon my return to England. Regarding the two stipulations I am alledged (sic) to have made, I wish to say firstly, that while naturally the matter of witholding (sic) the title of Royal Highness from the Duchess is an insult which I as her husband and a member of the Royal Family have always resented far more deeply than she has, we have too many other more important interests to worry over such a triviality. Secondly, whatever may be the behaviour of Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth towards the Duchess, it would in no way affect any plans we might make for going to England.' A letter of truly remarkable historical content written in the years following King Edward VIII's abdication and subsequent marriage to Wallis Simpson, and demonstrating that the Duke was under absolutely no illusions as to the attitudes of his mother, Queen Mary, and sister in law, Queen Elizabeth, towards the Duchess of Windsor. Each with two file holes to the left edge, not affecting the text or signature, and with a very slight, extremely minor paperclip rust stain to the upper left corner of the first page. Otherwise VG Max Aitken (1879-1964) 1st Baron Beaverbrook. Anglo-Canadian Business Tycoon, Politician & Writer, owner of the Daily Express and London Evening Standard newspapers.
