A lovely reply from Queen Elizabeth. I had written to her in April for her 91st Birthday. I had of course also mentioned the recent Westminster attack.
The Letter says:
Dear Miss Daly,The Queen wishes me to than you for your message of condolence and the assurance of your prayers following the awful violence which occurred in Westminster recently.I am also to thank you for the message you have sent to Her Majesty on the occasion of her ninety-first birthday.Your thoughtfulness in writing at this time is most appreciated.Yours sincerely,Miss Jennie VineDeputy Correspondence Coordinator
The letter is similar to the one's I have received from the Queen in the past. But what is interesting is this was written by Miss Jennie Vine, a Deputy Correspondence Coordinator at Buckingham Palace. This is the 1st time I've gotten a letter from the Queen that was signed by someone other than a Lady-in-Waiting.
I think the Ladies-in-Waiting handle more of the good wishes and the correspondence office staff the more serious or official letters. The correspondence office staff do the more day-to-day stuff, as they are working full-time at answering letters. For the Ladies-in-Waiting answering, letters is one of the many tasks they do for the Queen.
