GEORGE V: (1865-1936) King of the United Kingdom 1910-36. A.L.S., George, as Duke of York, four pages, 8vo, Sandringham, Norfolk, 29th December 1892, to 'My dear de Winton', on mourning stationery. The Duke thanks his correspondent for their letter and enclosures and remarks 'The rough draft of the speech will do very well…..I will write it out myself & will put it inside the little book as you suggest'. He continues 'Now, about the other speechs, (sic) I have spoken to my father on the subject & we propose the following, of course first “The Queen”, then I want you to write & ask the Duke of Abercorn to propose my father's & mother's healths coupled with my own, & then I return thanks, but please ask him not to refer to the sad event if possible as I think it would be out of place at a dinner. Then I shall propose the Army & Navy coupled with the two names of the persons who will respond. Then comes the Toast of the evening, & then perhaps the President of the Committee would return thanks. And that would be all, nothing else in the way of speechs. (sic) I want you to arrange this now, as else they will try & put a lot more in. The ones I have mentioned are quite enough' and in concluding writes 'I quite approve of what you propose about the wine. Please tell Kingscote that I hope he will be able to get me some white port & also some sparkling Moselle the same as my father has.' Some extremely light, minor age wear, otherwise VG Sir Francis de Winton (1835-1901) British Army Officer and Courtier, Comptroller and Treasurer of the household of the Duke of York.

Phillida Brooke Simons(Text) Alain Proust(Photographs) NEDERBURG- The First Two Hundred Years- Boxed 24 X 31cm Nederburg--renowned internationally for the excellence of its wines and the annual Nederburg Auction--is celebrating its 200th anniversary in 1992. This book, specially published to commemorate the bicentenary of South Africa`s most famous wine produce, traces the farm`s history from the original land grant of some 57 morgen to Phliippus Wolvaart at the end of the eighteenth century, through the lives and achievements of the seven private owners who succeeded him, to the impressive modern enterprise that has won over a thousand national and international awards for its wines. Written by the granddaughter of the fifth owner of Nederburg, the text is more than a catalogue of the events that have taken place on this beautiful farm in the Paarl valley: it is a tale of the dreams and disappointments, the sorrows and successes, of the many people of vision who have lived and laboured there over the last two centuies--from its first owner a rough stable-hand`s son, to sophisticated viniculturists and entreprenersn in the twentieth century. Hardback with Dustcover over original blue boards- 231 pages text with supporting colour illustrations, photographs and data. Boxed. Very clean copy.
