Lot 102		Victoria Queen, Appointment Boldly Signed by the Queen in 1878 but Canceled the Next Day Due To An Apparent Clerical Error (1819-1901) Her 63 years long reign (1837-1901) proved the longest of any British monarch until Queen Elizabeth surpassed her great-great-grandmother 5 years ago. Appointment signed March 13, 1878 then "cancelled" the next day as evidenced in red pencil. This was an appointment for three individuals to be on The Executive Council of the Island of Saint Vincent. However it appears it was an error and instead meant for The Council of the Windward Islands based on corrections on verso. 13 x 16" folded with Victoria's signature bold and unblemished next to her seal. Discrete strip of acid free tape at bottom of fold crease to hold in check a split otherwise excellent. Estimated Value $600 - UP View details and enlarged photo	Realized $900
Lot 103		Duchess of Windsor, Wallis Simpson ALS to Col. Martin Scanlon, Special Assistant to the US Ambassador to the UK. Wallis Simpson (1896-1986) Duchess of Windsor was an American socialite and central to King Edward's Abdication in December of 1936. Letter is written to Col. Martin Scanlon, a US Officer of considerable reputation and was special assistant to the United States Ambassador to the United Kingdom from April to September 1939, when he became the military attaché. Letter is written on 3 pages of stationery with the beautiful Royal Madras Yacht Club embossed flags logo and the name M.Y. Gulzar, likely whose yacht the couple were sailing on. Simpson writes that she is "enjoying idling along the coast of Italy, but I laugh as we are both almost too tired to enjoy anything." She also mentions she loves being away "to avoid shooting all decorators and servants". Finally she appreciates photos sent and "how homesick they make them feel". This letter was written just at the couple's one year wedding anniversary (possibly the motivation for the cruise) and eight months after their controversial meeting with Adolph Hitler. 6½ x 5" 3 pp. recto verso, with original envelope postmarked July 17, 1938. Near to mint condition. Estimated Value $500 - UP View details and enlarged photo	Realized $320
