Item 3070 - This 32 year old, six page letter dated April 7, 1980 was hand written by Prince Charles to friends on official Buckingham Palace stationary from the Bahamas. $5,500.00 plus postage Order
Dear _________
Just a note from the sun-swept Bahamas to let you know that I
have started doing my
runs along the seashore in preparation for my return to the racecourse
and all that is
happening is that my feet are being worn down to nothing by the
unaccustomed sand.
Talking of racecourses - I am totally confused as to which course
we are going to! is it
in Wales or in Cheshire? I also wondered whether I could bring
a young lady to watch the
riding on Tuesday morning who would then want to come and watch
the race on
Saturday? Perhaps I could give Jon a ring about all this when
I get back next Monday?
I spent last weekend attempting to play polo in Palm Beach. Weather
ugly, the whole
thing was an unmitigated disaster because I ended up in hospital
suffering from heat
exhaustion & total dehydration after spending the morning
playing (can't read) & then
playing 6 (can't read) of fairly (can't read) pool polo, at 3:00
pm, -91 degrees and 100%
humidity! I have never known such heat and have never been so
exhausted. In fact I
thought I was dying when I got back to my room & then ended
up in hospital they had me
on drip all night! What I really needed of course were some of
Mrs. _____ (can't read)
pills! All I can say is thank God one doesn't have to ride round
Sanbourn in 90o heat after
coming from a steady 40 or 50!
I hope all is well in the stable & that you received a photo
for Byron. Much looking
forward to seeing you next week.
Yours affectionately and exhaustedly
Charles

Dear ___________
Thank you so much for the report on Athenian. How annoying that
she has started
coughing & I do hope it won't last long. I would love to see
her operating at Landbourn
and will try and see if I can fit in a flying visit - but it not
very easy!
Is she now behaving like a "Windsor" & more like
a racehorse? I'm sure I won't be
able to recognize her when I see her. I know Roddy would love
to come over & see her &
Jon was kind to suggest it.
Michael Oswald came over to Highgrove from Sandringham recently
and liked the
(can't read) a lot. It will be interesting to see.
Lots of love to ____ from both of us.
Love ever, Charles

Dear David,
Warmest thanks to you & Irene for thinking of sending such
a nice congratulatory letter
following Harry's birth. We have been overwhelmed by everyone's
kindness &
enthusiasm & my poor office has vanished under a deluge of
cards, letters & endless
pairs of booties.
We are thrilled with our new arrival, but can't get used to the
idea of being a father of
two - it all seems much too grown up somehow!
I do hope all goes will with on & please give my love to Irene.
Love, forever Charles
