Final page of a letter, 8vo, good condition. "am just back here. We are a party of 43 in the house here with the Viceroy and Queen[.] Sir Ernest is here but soon goes to Egypt[.] Again with all good wishes Believe me Sincerely . . ." Note: Her Spanish name was in honor of her godmother, Maria Consuelo Yznaga Clement (1858-1909), a half-Cuban, half-American socialite who created a social stir a year earlier when she married the fortune-hunting George Victor Drogo Montagu, Viscount Mandeville, a union of Old World and New World that caused the groom's father, the 7th duke of Manchester, to openly wonder if his son and heir had married a "Red Indian." (Consuelo, Duchess of Manchester was also the basis of the character Conchita Closson in Edith Wharton's unfinished novel 'The Buccaneers'.)(Wikipedia).
