The Coronation (Edward VII)

Posted from Paignton to South Kensington, London on May 7th 1902.
Paignton, Wednesday
"I have been summoned home to my mother, who is ill - am very anxious about her - There is no chance of my coming up for the Coronation, much as I would like to do so - May I postpone my visit to you until early Autumn?  Will write you a letter in a day or two.  Much Love B.C"

Editors note - One wonders whether 'B.C.' did actually make the Coronation in the end, as it was postponed from 26th June 1902 to 9th August of the same year, as Edward had an emergency appendectomy.
