EDWARD, DUKE OF WINDSOR (1894-1972), formerly King Edward VIII, Governor of the Bahamas 1940-45. TLS, Waldorf Towers, New York, 23 July 1945, with crowned E cipher, to Henry Hooker, The Racquet Club, New York: "I send you under separate cover a copy of the tribute to the late President I broadcast as Governor of the Bahamas from Nassau on April 14th, 1945. Written at a few hours' notice, there is no attempt at oratory but the message was submitted on the air as a simple but sincere appreciation of the services to mankind of a great American. As an old friend and law partner of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, I feel you will be interested to have it. It was a great pleasure to the Duchess and me to meet you again yesterday at Mr. and Mrs. Tevis Huhn's luncheon party at Lattingtown..." Signed "Edward". With The Nassau Daily Tribune, Monday 16 April 1945, "Nassau Pays Honour to Mr. Roosevelt". This item will be accompanied by a Letter of Authenticity from One of a Kind Collectibles.
