Marie Corelli

Description

Letter from Marie Corelli, Farnborough, Hants., to Lady Anna Chandos-Pole, Harrington House, Kensington Palace Gardens, thanking her for her hospitality during her visit to London. 'We have just come in from a drive to the mausoleum of Napoleon III. There are a colony of monks on the ex-Empress Eugene's estate - very dirty looking persons. They do no work. Their sole duty is to say masses night and day for the souls of Napoleon III and the Prince Imperial who is also buried here'. With envelope.
