Letter to Prince Henry Emiko of Nigeria

November/December 1956

From: 1956 To: 1956

A carbon copy of a handwritten letter to Prince Henry Emiko of Warri in Nigeria from Honora Grimmer: "Dear Prince Henry Emiko, It was a great surprise to receive your air letter. I did not know that the Woman's Journal travels so far. I do the crossword competitions for a hobby. I think you would probably like a younger penfriend. I am a rather elderly school teacher and I could probably put you in touch with boys of your own age who would like a penfriend in Nigeria, if you would like that. Thank you for kind greetings to my parents. I am lucky still to have a mother and father, most people my age have not. My mother is 82 years old and my father 79. I send good wishes to your parents. When Princess Margaret was in Nigeria the children in my class were very interested in your country. Did you see Princess Margaret I wonder?"
