Card inscribed Anna Lisa, Best Wishes, June 1970, signed Edward, Duke of Windsor and Wallis, Duchess of Windsor, with red ink stamp of the United Kingdom's Royal coat of arms, accompanied by a hand-written letter: "Dear Anna Lisa, July 7, 1970, I did not forget you but their Royal Highnesses did not sign any autographs until they were leaving the end of June. They signed only a few for me. We get many requests, but of course it can't be done - mostly college kids write for them. I'm very busy here preparing for 1,000 guests at a dinner dance. Very hot and damp. Please keep well and I will see you when I return. Sincerely, Madeline Davis," envelope addressed on the obverse to Anna Lisa Kervinen, 420 Corbett Ave, Twin Peaks, San Francisco, California, 94114, reverse with return address M. Davis c/o Mrs. A.
