My dear Bradford Atkinson,
I am commanded by the King and Queen to forward to you two signed and framed photographs of Their Majesties for the Guards Home.
Their Majesties hope that you will have the photographs hung up in the Home. The gilt frames are old ones from Windsor Castle. The photographs have been addressed to you at the Guards Home.
The Queen desires me to take this opportunity of assuring you once more of the great pleasure which her visit to the Home on the 11th instant gave her, and of her keen interest in the happiness and welfare of its young inmates.
Believe me,
Very sincerely yours
Major Bradford Atkinson
