Duchess Sarah - Christmas (2015)

A lovely thank you letter arrived last week from Sarah, Duchess of York! I had written to Sarah to wish her a very merry Christmas.

The letter is similar to the other one's I have received from her in the past. The letter is written by some assistant.


The Letter reads: 
Dear Gertrude  
On behalf of Sarah, the Duchess of York, thank you so much for your recent Christmas card. The Duchess always enjoys receiving personal correspondence and reading your kind words.  
We take pleasure in sending you a signed photograph along with the Duchess's best wishes.  
Your Sincerely (Signature)The Office of the Duchess of York 
Miss Gertrude Daly (My Address) 

"Everyone, no matter how humble he may be, has angels to watch over him. They are heavenly, pure and splendid, and yet they have been given to us to keep us company along with way. They have been given the task of keeping careful watch over you."
Pope Puis XII


The quote at the bottom is the same quote Sarah has used on all the letter I've received from her so far. It is from Pope Pius XII from a speech on October 3rd, 1958, six days before the Pope's death. 

Included with the letter was a photo, mounted on card stock with a printed signature. The photo is quite old. I tried to find when it was taken but had no luck.



It would have been nice to see a more recent photo since in promoting various products and in interviews, Sarah has said she is the healthiest and more confident than she has been in years.
