I got A few old letters I found in a folder at the dump, someone must have collecte them over some time as there is some really interesting pieces here.
I can't read most them as some are old English writing that looks Beautiful, I have trouble with today's English. Some are typed and some are Royal.
When I can get the time I will post them individually so you can have a close look at them.
They is two really old letters in old English with wax seals and a lot of signatures.
One of the letters is on blue paper with the heading, Cumberland Windsor
From HRH Princess Helena With the date from 1910, four pages
but that's all I can get from it.
One of them is a licence of the reverend
There is a ticket to the queens coronation on 1953 at Parliament Square.

As you have military correspondence it is a good bet that this may have been Powell's things at one time
