Padstow Lifeboat letter

WINDSOR CASTLE

19TH May 1900
Dear Sir,
In reply to your letter of the 11th instant addressed to Sir Arthur Biggs, which has been laid before the Queen. I am commanded to enclose a cheque for £25 as a donation from H.M. to the Padstow Lifeboat Disaster Fund and at the same time express the Queens sympathy with the widows and families of the brave fellows who lost their lives.
Yours faithfully
Fleetwood J Edwards
To
The Rev Nugent
