An incomplete 4-page autograph letter, dated Windsor Castle, September 29th, 1841, on paper embossed with the royal monogram, from the Queen to the Master of the Horse, discussing the stabling of her horses (some browning). "The Queen would wish the Master of the horse to tell Sir George Quentin that she does not wish more than five horses to be kept for her own use," she states. "More, really are not wanted and if the master of this horse gives it as the Queen's order ... it will be obeyed." She describes the horses in question by name and adds that: "The Queen ... wishes that the Masters of the horse would [communicate] to Sir George not to over ride on the horses, now that she is not riding them herself." With a one-page autograph letter of 11 lines, signed, from Prince Albert, B[uckingham] P[alace], [n.d.], to Lord Jersey, stating: "I send you copy of a letter & addressed to the Duke of Wellington which will show you the final decision the Queen has come to in the Quentin case" (creased, some browning).
