Go to the source to see/read the letters. I especially like the one to Nixon from the little boy offering health advice. And the one from Queen Elizbeth to Eisenhower is priceless. The one from the FBI to Martin Luther King is chilling.

The German dictator never received the letter because it was intercepted by the British government

Too bad, because no doubt a gentle-soul like Hitler would have been moved to change course by a relatively unknown, naked Hindu ascetic in far-off India.... /s

Dear Mr. President,

Seeing a picture of you in today’s newspaper standing in front of a barbecue grilling quail, reminded me that I had never sent you the recipe of the drop scones which I promised you at Balmoral. I now hasten to do so, and I do hope you will find them successful. Though the quantities are for 16 people, when there are fewer, I generally put in less flour and milk, but use the other ingredients as stated.

I have also tried using golden syrup or Treacle instead of only sugar and that can be very good, too. I think the mixture needs a great deal of beating while making, and shouldn’t stand about too long before cooking.

We have followed with intense interest and much admiration your tremendous journey to so many countries, but feel we shall never again be able to claim that we are being made to do too much on our future tours! We remember with such pleasure your visit to Balmoral, and I hope the photograph will be a reminder of the very happy day you spent with us. With all good wishes to you and Mrs. Eisenhower. Yours sincerely

ElizabethR

I never really have given much thought to British Royalty, but the more I read about Elizabeth II, she truly is one of the classiest, most polite individuals. What’s even more remarkable is that even though her entire life has been in the public eye, there is hardly a whiff of crassness, pettiness or anger having ever been seen from her.
