Prince Of Wales Albert Edward Later King Edward VII Handwritten And Signed 1878
Item History & Price
What a wonderful find for the collector. We sincerely wish we could offer the “whip” that’s mentioned in this letter, alas we cannot.
This framed letter was found in the stables of a large Eastern Shore Horse Farm. While we purchased all of the whips as well, none stood out as a “Gift” from the King of England.
The letter reads in part... “Dear Sir, I am commanded by His Majesty the King, to forward you a whip, to commemorate the victory of “Slim Lad” ...in the Sandringham Food Stakes at Sandown.” The letter goes on to suggest the victory was because of the “Rider”.
A treasure indeed!!
