No Binding. Condición: Very Good. 203 x 126 mm. [Transcription. Front] "GROSVENOR 2014. 32 CURZON STREET, MAYFAIR, W. Feb 10/30 Dear Marguerite. My warm thanks for your kind message of sympathy & for the beautiful flowers. I am glad you will always remember her with affection - the early days, even with one of your youth, come back vividly in the sorrow that [Back] is occasioned by the passing over of a friend. Please thank your husband for me. Yours [?][?sincerely] Reading" The letter to Marguerite was written and signed by Rufus Isaacs, 1st Marquess of Reading (signed simply as "Reading"), British Liberal politician, Lord Chief Justice, and Viceroy of India. He resided at 32 Curzon Street, Mayfair. Reading was one of the most brilliant legal and political minds of the Edwardian and Georgian eras. He served as Solicitor General, Attorney General, Lord Chief Justice, the first Jew to hold that position, British ambassador to the United States, Viceroy of India from 1921 to 1926 and briefly the Foreign Secretary in 1931. The letter, dated February 10, 1930, is a condolence thank-you note written following the death of his first wife, Alice Edith Cohen (Lady Reading), who passed away after a long illness on January 30, 1930. "Marguerite" almost certainly refers to Margaret "Margot" Asquith (Countess of Oxford and Asquith). She was the wife of the former Liberal Prime Minister H. H. Asquith. While officially named Margaret, she was known throughout European high society, political circles, and intimate correspondence as "Margot" or "Marguerite". The "Youth" Mention: Lord Reading's comment about "the early days, even with one of your youth" aligns perfectly with Margot Asquith. She was famously part of "The Souls" (an elite avant-garde social circle) and a remarkably vibrant, younger fixture of the Liberal Party elite when Rufus Isaacs first rose to prominence alongside her husband Lady Reading (Alice Edith Cohen) passed away on January 30, 1930. A response thanking a close acquaintance for flowers and a letter of sympathy would typically be dispatched roughly 10 days later as the initial wave of formal condolences arrived and were processed by the estate. Writing this on February 10th places the letter precisely a week and a half after her passing, aligning flawlessly with standard high-society mourning etiquette of the era. Reading describes his wife's death as "passing over of a friend." It seems a jarring or cold choice of words for a husband talking about his deceased wife. However, this choice of words reveals the underlying nuances of high-society etiquette, Edwardian-era euphemisms, and the specific relationship between the writer and the recipient: "Friend" was the ultimate mark of respect. In the formal, elite British society of the early 20th century, referring to a spouse as a "friend" in a letter to an outsider was not a sign of coldness. Rather, it was a traditional, understated upper-class convention. To use an emotional language like "the passing of my beloved wife" to someone outside the immediate household was viewed as overly dramatic or "unseemly" public mourning. By calling her a friend, he is framing her as a lifelong companion and a shared social peer to Marguerite. "Passing over" was a common spiritual euphemism. While "passed away" is standard today, in the 1920s and 1930s, "passing over" (or passing over to the other side) was an very popular and elegant euphemism for death. Driven heavily by the massive cultural grief of WWI and the subsequent rise of the Spiritualism movement in the UK, it was widely preferred by elites as a softer, less brutal alternative to the word "died." It is an artifact of rigid British upper-class restraint. The phrase was meant to convey deep, dignified solemnity to a family peer.As Attorney General between 1910 and 1913, Sir Rufus Isaacs handled some of the most sensational, high-profile legal dramas of the Edwardian era. He was famous for his razor-sharp cross-examination. . [continued:] The Titanic Disaster Inquiry (1912). The Frederick Seddon Poisoning Trial (1912). 3. The Royal Libel Case (The Crown v.
