Description

Charles inquires about a gardener for Lady Ramsey

ALS signed “Charles,” three pages on two sheets, 5 x 8, Sandringham Palace letterhead, January 5, 1986. Letter to friend and landscape consultant Vernon Russell-Smith, in full: "Forgive me bothering you with yet more requests, but I value your gardening contacts & experience! Lady Ramsey, who lives at Lord Mountbatten's old home, Broadlands, is looking for a new gardener to be in charge of the greenhouses (not too many!) and the walled garden (needs a lot doing to it!). She has asked me if I know of anyone, or can recommend anyone, & I would very much like to help her. She is enthusiastic & deserves somebody good who she can rely on. Have you any ideas, or should she simply advertise in the way you were suggesting where we discussed my gardener problems? I would be so grateful for your advice…with every best wish for the coming year." In very fine condition.
