Letter written by Albert Edward to Alice de Rothschild following Ferdinand's death the previous December. The letter is written from Marlborough House.
Marlborough House
January 11/99
My dear Miss Alice
I am deeply grateful for your letter & the kind thought which has prompted you to offer me one of the pictures at Waddesdon belonging to your own late lamented Brother.
With pleasure I accept your valuable gift, especially a picture painted by my old and valued friend Lord Leighton.
My thoughts are continually with you in your great sorrow & I cannot bring myself to believe that I shall never see good kind Ferdy again.
Trusting that your health has not suffered from the heavy blow you have sustained.
Believe me,
Very sincerely yours
Albert Edward
