Lord Louis Mountbatten (1900-1979), born Louis Francis Albert Victor Nicholas Mountbatten in 1900, was a prominent British Royal Navy officer and statesman. He served during World War II as Supreme Allied Commander in South East Asia Command, where he oversaw the recapture of Burma from the Japanese. Post World War II, Mountbatten was the last Viceroy of India, overseeing the transition to independence for India and Pakistan. His later career included serving as First Sea Lord and Chief of the Defense Staff. Mountbatten was known for his royal connections as a great-grandson of Queen Victoria and an uncle of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. His life tragically ended in 1979 when he was assassinated by the Irish Republican Army (IRA) via a bomb placed aboard his fishing boat. Signed.

1p., 12mo. In fair condition, laid down on backing and a little creased. He thanks him for a letter about 'the study you are doing of Royal bookplates, and of course I remember the icon you had had [sic] of my great aunt Ella and was so pleased to have the postcard of it you kindly sent me'. He is also pleased to learn that Lee has been able to identify the print which his father sent Lee of his bookplate as the work of George Taylor Friend, 'which I am sure he would have been very pleased to know'. Lee's research 'must produced quite a few headaches, but with very interesting results'. He is sending 'a print of my bookplate which my father had designed for me, but perhaps not by George Taylor Friend'.
