GEORGE II OF GREECE. (1890-1947). King of Greece (1922-24) & (1935-1947). Eldest son of King Constantine. During WWII he went into exile in Crete, Egypt and Great Britain. Autograph letter signed, three very full pages on the imprinted letterhead of the Brown’s Hotel, London. August 18, 1925, George writes in part: “…I followed your illness with great interest and sympathy in the papers…..what bad luck to have had to go through and a miserable time…I am leaving tomorrow morning for Paris for three weeks and will be back in London on Sept. 7 for a month. I do hope that I might have some time call on you and wish you a very speedy and complete recovery. Your book interested me really very much. What a reckless time that poor soul must have had being reincarnated so often without really finding much peace..…I am looking forward to the next book which you so very kindly promised me….it was too nice of you to send me that charming letter and it particularly touched me that you were able to do so in your condition….” Signed “George R.”........................ $195.00
