To a M. Tage Bolander at the "Time & Life Building" in New York about the project of publishing the memoirs of the former Queen Elisabeth of Greece and Princess of Romania, with thanks for the recipient's interest and efforts: "J'ai bien reçu en son temps votre lettre du 24 Janvier 1956 ainsi que le carnet manuscrit des 'Mémoires" de Sa Majesté [...]". - Elisabeth of Romania (1894-1956) settled in Cannes some years after her expulsion from Romania in 1947 when the Romanian People's Republic was proclaimed.
In France she met the much younger aspiring artist Marc Favrat, who became her lover and whom she made her equerry and adopted in the year of her death. - With blindstamped letterhead and address stamp "Le Chef de la Maison Civile en France"..
