Initialled "[?]P 10/12" (10 December"2pp., 4to. In good condition, on lightly-aged paper. A number of minor autograph corrections suggest that the author of the letter may not be a native English speaker. The letter begins: 'Now that the period of delay and doubt, and of consequent uncertainty and uneasiness, is over it may, perhaps, be permitted to express a feeling almost of relief and satisfaction that King Edward has decided to abdicate.' The former king's 'retiring disposition and sensitive temperament were not equal to the fierce light of publicity that always beats upon the Throne', and 'his mental poise and physical strength' have been 'undermined to the point of breakdown'. 'No other charitable explanation seems capable of accounting for his present obvious dereliction of duty. There can be few of his former loyal and loving subjects who were not ready to sacrifice their very lives for him; and yet he could not bring his mind to sacrifice for them a personal desire to wed a wife who already had not been able to retain the affection and fidelity of two husbands, and whom apparently he did not consider a fit and proper person to be his Queen.' He has brought 'dire distress to millions throughout the Empire', and their 'universal love and devotion to him' should be 'extended in full measure to the Prince, who has so nobly and bravely undertaken the task of succeeding him in such painful circumstances'. Accompanied by a newspaper cutting headed: 'AUSTRALIA'S "DEEP EMOTION" | STATE PREMIER'S APPEAL | SYDNEY, Monday.' From the papers of Lieut.-Col. E. B. Peacock.…

King Edward VIII (1894â"1972) and Wallis Simpson (1896â"1986), later the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, occupy a distinctive place in twentieth-century British constitutional and social history. Edwardâs decision in 1936 to abdicate the throne in order to marry Simpson, an American divorcà e, precipitated a constitutional crisis that underscored tensions between personal autonomy, monarchical duty, and the political expectations of the British government and Commonwealth. Following the abdication, Edward was created Duke of Windsor, and the couple spent much of their lives abroad, notably during his tenure as Governor of the Bahamas (1940â"1945).…

Exceptionally rare 1941 Bahamas Red Cross Benefit Match Admission Pass signed by Bobby Jones, Walter Hagan, Gene Sarazen, and Tommy Armour handsomely framed with a typed letter signed by the Duke of Windsor, "Edward" to Gene Sarazen thanking him for a fine set of golf clubs and anticipating his visit and participation in the benefit match dated 3rd February, 1941. With a second typed letter signed by the Duke of Windsor letter dated 21st January, 1942 preserved in an archival plastic sleeve and tucked into a pocket at rear. One page, on the Duke of Windor's Government House Bahamas letterhead, the first letter is dated 3rd February, 1941 and reads in part: Dear Sarazen, My grateful thanks for your letter of January 24th and for the fine set of golf clubs which have arrived here safely. I hardly tell you how delighted I am with this handsome gift. The Duchess, who is President of our local branch of the Red Cross, appreciates as much as I do, your suggesting to the Manager of the four tennis stars, that they should come to Nassau to play some exhibition matches in aid of the Red Cross. But the big event of the winter season will be yours, Bobby Jones', Walter Hagen's and Tommy Armour's visit in March and I can assure you all a very warm welcome and a keenly interested gallery, even if our gold course is not up to the standard you are used to. With my renewed thanks for your fine and welcome gift, Believe me, Yours sincerely, "Edward." Handsomely mounted and framed with an original ticket from the event with the printed details: Bahamas Country Club Nassau Bahamas Benefit Match in Aid of the Bahamas Red Cross Under the Distinguished Patronage of the Duke and Duchess of Windsor Bobby Jones and Tommy Armour vs. Walter Hagen and Gene Sarazen Sunday, March 16th 1941. The ticket is boldly signed by all four golfers. The second letter, in a folder at rear, pocket at rear is dated 21st January, 1942 and reads in part: Dear Sarazen, The Duchess and I greatly appreciate your suggestion that you and Hagen play a match for the Red Cross here, but in view of the fact that I have already refused an offer of Fred Corcoran to organize a charity match as last year, and owing to American's entry into the war, there will be no winter tourist season to speak of, I really do not think it would be an auspicious time to organize anything for the Red Cross along the lines you suggest. Looking forward to playing with you again and with my best wishes, Believe me, Sincerely yours, "Edward." Mounted, matted, and framed. The letters measure 8.75 inches by 6.25 inches. The entire piece measures 23 inches by 14.25 inches. After the abdication crisis of 1936, the Duke of Windsor (formerly King Edward VIII) was appointed Governor of the Bahamas (1940â"1945). During his tenure in Nassau, he and the Duchess became prominent social figures, hosting and supporting high-profile events, including charity functions. The Bahamas in the late 1930sâ"early 1940s was a fashionable winter destination for wealthy Americans and British elites. Golf exhibitions featuring major champions were popular fundraising attractions including exhibition matches staged at the Bahamas Country Club in aid of local and wartime charities such as the Bahamas Red Cross. One such benefit brought together an extraordinary field of major champions â" Bobby Jones, Walter Hagen, Gene Sarazen, and Tommy Armour â" whose appearance in Nassau underscored both the colonyâs status as an elite winter resort and the Duke and Duchess of Windsorâs role as highly visible patrons of philanthropic and social events during the governorship. These tournaments functioned simultaneously as charitable fundraisers, society occasions, and instruments of soft diplomacy, linking British colonial administration with American sporting celebrity at a moment of global instability.

Presentation copy, inscribed by Edouard Detaille in French to Edward VIII, Duke of Windsor in the year of Detaille's death.

It is a great honor for me and also a great pleasure that I am happy to witness. Your Royal Highness, with the assurance of my faithful and respectful devotion. Edouard Detaille June 20 1912." From the collection of the Duke and Duchess of Windsor. Edward VIII, Duke of Windsor became the second monarch of the House of Windsor upon King George IV's death in 1936. The new king showed impatience with court protocol, and caused concern among politicians by his apparent disregard for established constitutional conventions. Only months into his reign, a constitutional crisis was caused by his proposal to marry Wallis Simpson, an American who had divorced her first husband and was seeking a divorce from her second. When it became apparent he could not marry Wallis and remain on the throne, he abdicated. He was succeeded by his younger brother, George VI.ÂIn good condition. Noted for his precision and realistic detail, French academic painter and military artist Jean-Baptiste Ãdouard Detaille was widely regarded as the "semi-official artist of the French army.".…
