2pp., 12mo. Bifolium with mourning border. In fair condition, on aged and lightly-creased paper. The Prince's handwriting is none of the best, and even his signature is illegible. The letter reads: 'Dear Mr Garth | I am very sorry to hear of the

near but I am afraid that I a powerless in the matter as the at has been handed over to the Duke of Connaught & I have sent your letter as well as Talbots letter to the Duke.' The reverse of the second leaf carries the following pencil note, written in a no better hand, and signed 'J. S. Talbot': 'Dear Teddy: | Herewith one of Prince Christians signatures | You may as well note in the what it is for future reference'.
