Description

The queen's missing carpet samples—"The Post Office have lost them!"

ALS signed “ER,” one page both sides, 5.25 x 7, Arundel Park letterhead, July 30, 1969. Letter to "Bennett," in full: "Mr. David Hicks writes to me that he has never received the one pattern of carpet which I chose for Sandringham specially, let alone the other patterns, but he did get my original letter. What do you think has happened to them? He cannot order the carpet as he doesn't know the pattern number! His secretary is unfortunately in Bermuda on holiday, but he remembers her saying the patterns were not returned. Please could you search in B. P. [Buckingham Palace] for them, as they must either be there or the Post Office have lost them!" In fine condition.
