George VI, as Prince Albert
1912 (3 June) folio A.L.S. from Prince Albert at the Royal Naval College, Dartmouth, written in French to his former French tutor, Mr Lassimonne. The translation reads, "I thank you very much for your letter and beg your pardon that I have not written before but you know that I have so little time here for writing letters and when I write, it is almost always to my father and mother. I have given all of your keepsakes to your old pupils. I hope that I will see you again at Cowes this year. I arrive, I think, the 7th August. How is your little daughter now, I hope that her leg is better? I am always in the top class here for French with Mr Arkwright. Your old pupils there also. The time has passed very quickly since I have left Osborne." and is signed "Albert" . With the original envelope which bears the initial "A" in the lower corner. Photo
