Description

"Goodness, what fun it is to have a baby in the house again!"

ALS signed “Lilibet,” one page both sides, 4.75 x 7.5, Buckingham Palace letterhead, March 23, 1964. Letter to Mary, in full: "What lovely flowers arrived from you today! It was extremely kind of you to send them when all my others had faded and gone, thank you very much indeed for the thoughts and for your congratulations. The baby is flourishing and gaining weight splendidly—he is a great joy to us all, especially to Andrew who is completely fascinated by him. In fact he considers him his own property, even telling Charles and Anne to 'come and see my baby!' Goodness, what fun it is to have a baby in the house again!" In fine condition. The fourth child of Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip, Edward Antony Richard Louis was born at Buckingham Palace on March 10, 1964, less than two weeks before this letter was written. A fabulous handwritten letter from the joyous new mother.
