Letter from Prince Henry Emiko of Nigeria

12 December 1956

From: 1956 To: 1956

A handwritten airmail from Prince Henry Emiko of Warri in Nigeria to Honora Grimmer: "Dear Grimmer, Thank you for yours which came to hand previous days ago. Indeed I would like penfriend of my own age and I shall be grateful if you can fetch me another penfriend. Let her be female. May I assure you that age matters a little these days for you are the girl of my choice, never mine if your age has none, is a way of communication. What is your age? Well Prince is not my name, it is a title. My grandfather was a King and the only child he had was my Father. After some years my Father died leaving me and Grandad so I am now to be the Prince hence I got the name Prince. I didn't see Princess Margaret, she only visited Kano a city in Northern Nigeria but I had of her arrival in the radio and I saw the Queen and her husband. Be sure I am in need of a female penfriend between 16-18 year. More discussions next time. Waiting for your earliest reply. Yours sincerely,"
