Inside: Handwritten message/inscription on the inside of card stating: 'Dearest Lady Brunner, I couldn't think what to do to thank you for the wonderfully happy time I have spent at Greys Court. It has been a very special time in my life and I shall treasure the memories of the house, the garden and especially my walks and rides in the woods and the park. Thank you for sharing it all with me. I have given Jacqueline Geldart a cheque for the "own stone" and I hope it will be enjoyed for many years to comes. Bless you, take care and I shall write to you lots and see you when I get home from India. My fondest love + best wishes, Alex xxxx'
