Dear Nick,

The enclosed small present comes as a token of my warmest appreciation for Devil's Elbows thrilling Victory at Worcester. I can't tell you how excited I still am the realization that we have had a winner here at Highgrove. It's like catching a salmon on a fly you tied yourself-only better!

As ever, Charles

Princess Margaret was the most beautiful royal of her time. It is sad she was forbidden from marrying the man she loved because he had been divorced. I often wonder what she must have thought in later years watching all the royal divorces, scandals, etc. All too sad!! $2,000.00 plus postage
