3pp, 12mo. Bifolium. In good condition, lightly aged, with traces of paper from mount adhering to blank reverse of second leaf. Folded twice. Written in his usual difficult hand. He begins by stating that her note was forwarded to him from Knebworth. The letter continues: 'I had previously requested my Sol[icito]r. to arrange some plan, if possible by which the [tenets?] of the Deed might be performed without your intervention, or occasioning you any personal [trouble?] &c.' The solicitor has informed Lytton that he has 'not quite effected that object in a mode which will [?] you from all anxiety.' A reference to 'Mr. Greene' follows, and he continues by explaining why he was 'desirous of this', with a possible and only partially-legible reference to his long-suffering wife (as 'Lady L'?) and 'the mother'. He ends in the hope that she will visit him at Knebworth. From the papers of Lady Ann Cullum (1807-1875), wife of Sir Thomas Gery Cullum (1777-1855) of Hardwick House.

Four items, all in good condition, lightly aged, the three letters with stubs and labels used in mounting in an album. In addition to the pleasant picture they paint of the court gathered around the blind king in the last year of his kingdom's existence (with an interesting reference to the new palace he had built his wife at Marienburg), the three letters indicate a surprisingly cordial state in nineteenth-century Anglo-German relations. The recipient was Lady Ann Cullum (1807-1875), widow of Sir Thomas Gery Cullum (1777-1855) of Hardwick House, and the correspondence indicates that in her youth Lady Cullum, as 'Miss Loyd', had taken dancing letters with George when he was a young prince in London. ONE: Letter, from George V to Lady Cullum, in a secretarial hand, with the untidy signature of the blind king, and a postscript in a second secretarial hand. 28 November [1865]; Herrenhausen. 7pp, 12mo. On two bifoliums. Signed 'Georg R'. A warm and good-natured letter, giving no indication of the political trouble that would follow within months, with the Austro-Prussian War seeing the annexation of Hanover by Prussia and the unification of Germany. Addressed to 'My dear Lady Cullum'. He thanks her for her letter of 18 November, delivered to him by Count Linsingen. 'I indeed cannot sufficiently assure you how gratified I am to hear from you again & to learn from yourself that you, thank God, can look back with gratitude & happiness to your past life.' He fully understands 'how severe the loss of Sir Thomas must have been to you, & how you only can find consolation in the zealous & conscientious fulfilment of the duties devolved upon you since he was called to a better home.' The recollection of the 'happy days' the Cullums passed with him at Kew 'will ever remain dear' to him: 'I remember every minute detail with the greatest accuracy & delight.' He reports the visit to Hanover of their 'old acquaintance of those times' Colonel Mc.Donnell, who informed him that 'on his return from Marechal Mc.Donnell's funeral at Paris some years before, he had the pleasure of meeting you on the steamer crossing the channel.' Not having heard news of them he was delighted by this news, and also 'on being informed by Count Linsingen that he had had the pleasure of meeting you on his visit to England last year, on which occasion you had spoken of me with so kind & warm interest, which I am glad to find you extend to my angelic Queen & my dear children.' He is grateful to God 'for the great blessing He has bestowed upon me in my domestic happiness added to so many other mercies'. He reports that the 'dear Prince Royal attained his 20th. year on the 21st. of September last & has been doing duty with his regiment upwards of 6 weeks.' He gives news of his daughters the Princesses Frederike and Mary. Should they visit the continent, he invites them to 'come to Hanover', where he would be 'too happy to welcome you at my Court & present you to the Queen & my children'. In the meantime he is sending 'five photographs, so that we may not be quite strange to you when you see us in person'. He ends by expressing pleasure that 'our old friend Sir Charles Wyke has yesterday been named minister at Hanover': 'there never could be a better diplomatic agent between two cousins and two courts & countries so closely connected'. The seven-line postscript concerns the photographs he is sending. TWO and THREE: Two Autograph Letters Signed to Lady Cullum from Carl Baron von Linsingen (1822-1872), both signed 'Ad[itor]s. Count Linsingen'. Both 4pp, 8vo. Bifoliums. TWO: 12 November 1865; Hanover. He is writing 'at the express desire of His Majesty the King', and informs her that for the previous four months 'the royal family have been chiefly residing at a new Palace the King has lately erected for Her Majesty the Queen about 40 english miles distant from Hanover, and intended to become the future dowager residence of the Queen. It is called the "Marienburg" and is a very fine spacious building, in the ancient Gothic style, situated on a well wooded eminence commanding a splendid view of the surrounding country.' The king has conferred on Linsingen 'the honourable office of "Marechall de la Cour" during the séjour of the Court' at Marienburg, and the king has asked him 'about my last year's visit to England, and of course, - as one of its brightest reminiscences, - I mentioned the truly kind reception I had met with under your so hospitable roof, [i.e. Hardwick Hall] adding the fact, which you then stated to me, of your having formerly taken dancing lessons together with his Majesty, when a young Prince in England. The King immediately remembered the "handsome Miss Loyd" as he was pleased to term you, and the recollection evidently afforded him so much satisfaction, that he requested me to relate to him, all I could communicate concerning you'. The king responds with animation, stating that he has 'made frequent, but hitherto unsuccessful enquiries' after Lady Cullum, 'the last tidings he had received were several years ago, through a colonel MacDaniel, (if I rightly remember the name) who had met you on board a steamer bound for some Italian port or other, of which I regret to say I have forgotten the name.' He hopes she will not consider him 'too indiscreet' if he suggests that 'it would give the king much pleasure, if you favoured him with a line from your hand, referring to old times, and thanking him for his remembrance, as I have always observed that he retains a great affection for all those, to whom he was attached previou to the loss of his eye sight.' He reports that he has received a letter from his 'brother in law Collett, [.] full of your kindness towards him and my young nieces'. The letter ends with a lengthy expression of thanks. The letter's envelope, with seal in red wax, is Item Four below. THREE: 18 December 1865; Hanover. When her 'truly amiable letter' arrived he was 'absent from home on a week's wild boar shooti.
