Description

“The penalty for disobeying a Dean Emeritus of Brisbane is probably severe but I’ll risk it!”

Scarce TLS signed “from Diana,” one page, 7.25 x 9.25, Kensington Palace letterhead, February 24, 1994. Letter to The Very Reverend William Baddeley. In full: “The penalty for disobeying a Dean Emeritus of Brisbane is probably severe but I’ll risk it! You may think that your latest note needs no reply but I could not let the opportunity pass to tell you how much I always enjoy hearing from you.” In fine condition. Accompanied by five additional letters to Baddeley written on Diana’s behalf, dated between 1987 and 1997, signed by her friends or assistants Alexandra Lloyd, David Barton, Patrick Jephson, and Mrs. Colin MacMillan. Baddeley was a well-respected member of the Anglican clergy and served as dean of Brisbane from 1958 to 1967. A charming letter with terrific provenance from this long-lasting relationship. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
