RBNA7/PC1-22 Letters from HRH Princess Christian, President of the RBNA, 1893- 1923

RBNA7/PC1 1893 Mar 31 Cumberland Lodge, Windsor. To Miss Huxley, Lady Superintendent, Sir Patrick Dun’s Hospital, DRAFTDublin, inviting her to come to London to discuss opening an Irish (and a Scottish) branch of the RBNA. Donation from Jessie Holmes. (see BCN2/101).

RBNA7/PC2 1900 Jan 1 Cumberland Lodge, Windsor. To Sister Jessie Holmes, Maida Vale, thanking her for her good King's College London Archives RBNA

wishes. Donation from Jessie Holmes. (See BCN2/101 below)

RBNA7/PC3 [1917] Feb 28 Schomberg House, Pall Mall. To Miss Macdonald. How can a card she encloses have been signed by Miss Lonsdale when she died two years previously? Is it a case for Sir Oliver Lodge? [Sir Oliver Lodge (1851-1940) was a well-known physicist of the day with a particular interest in psychical research].

RBNA7/PC4/ 1917 May 12 Schomberg House, Pall Mall. To Miss Liddiatt. 1-2 Thanks for her letter. The association has always been very near her heart.

RBNA7/PC5 [1917] Cumberland Lodge, Windsor. To Miss Macdonald. The College should be warned that Sir Henry Burdett’s mischievous statements are endangering the amalgamation [of the RBNA with the College of Nursing] and may wreck everything.

RBNA7/PC6 1917 Jul 6 Cumberland Lodge, Windsor. To Miss Macdonald. Thanks the nurses for their kind letter. In a section marked ‘private’ she complains that although she is the President Elect of the College they tell her nothing, which worries and troubles her greatly.

RBNA7/PC7/ 1917 Jul 7 Cumberland Lodge, Windsor. To Miss 1-2 Macdonald. She strongly resents a statement published in The Hospital suggesting that the College will be given a Royal Charter. She would like it refuted but does not wish to be involved personally. The College has to understand that it is to merge with the RBNA, not vice versa.

RBNA7/PC9 1917 Aug 7 Cumberland Lodge, Windsor. To Miss Macdonald. Can Miss Macdonald suggest an answer to Sir James as she knows ‘everything that goes on to the smallest trifle’. DRAFT RBNA7/PC10 1917 Oct 9 Cumberland Lodge, Windsor. To Miss Macdonald. The Schomberg House has had to be given up because of its German associations – although it is really the name of a Dutch Marshall who was an ally of the Duke of Marlborough. The house now has to be known as 78 Pall Mall. King's College London Archives RBNA

RBNA7/PC11 [1918] 78 Pall Mall. To Miss Macdonald. Hopes Miss Macdonald will lose no time in going to Hull to speak to RBNA members there. Includes references to Mrs Scott, Lady Barrett, Dr Laing and Miss Nelson Smith.

RBNA7/PC12 1918 Mar 13 78 Pall Mall. To Miss Macdonald. She would like to meet Dr White and Mr Paterson to discuss the affiliation of the Trained Nurses Annuity Fund with the RBNA’s Helena Benevolent and Settlement Funds.

RBNA7/PC13 [1918 Mar 14] The text of a speech by Princess Christian /1-2 thanking Sir Dyce Duckworth for a lecture to the Association.

RNNA7/PC14 1918 Mar 15 78 Pall Mall. To Mrs Bedford Fenwick. /1-2 Princess Christian’s ‘one great object and desire’ has always been furthering the interests of the Association. She welcomes the proposal of closer co-operation between the various nurses’ societies and Mrs Bedford Fenwick’s possible nomination as a representative.

RBNA7/PC15 1918 Apr 18 78 Pall Mall. To Miss Macdonald. She did not object to Mrs Bedford Fenwick being on the RBNA’s Council but ‘had she become Vice-President it would have laid me open to attacks of all kinds and from all sorts of quarters. It would have been absolutely impossible.’

RBNA7/PC16 1918 Apr 20 78 Pall Mall. To Miss Macdonald. /1-2 Delighted that the National Union of Trained Nurses is to be affiliated with the RBNA particularly since Mrs Bedford Fenwick has no influence there. She could never agree to having her on the Executive Committee. She is disturbed to have heard from ‘outside quarters’ that she thinks she has ‘captured the Association’, she remains determined not to allow Mrs Bedford DRAFTFenwick any say in the internal management of the RBNA.

RBNA7/PC17 1918 Sep 11 Pylewell Park, Lymington, Hants. To Miss Macdonald. Enclosing a second letter from Mr Pitt.

King's College London Archives RBNA

RBNA7/PC18 1918 Sep 23 Cambridge House, Frinton-on-Sea. To Miss Macdonald. She is sorry to hear that Dr Ferguson has written as he has and thinks Miss Macdonald’s proposed reply excellent.

RBNA7/PC19 1918 Christmas card sent by Princess Christian to the /1-2 nursing staff of the Princess Christian Military Hospital, Englefield Green, thanking them for their flowers. Presented to the British College of Nurses in 1930 by Pauline Shekleton (see BCN2/105).

RBNA7/PC20 1920 May 20 78 Pall Mall. To Mrs Campbell Thomson. Thanks the Executive Committee for their letter of sympathy on the death of her niece, the Crown Princess of Sweden. ‘My dear Association has never failed me in their kind interest and sympathy in my joys and sorrows’.

RBNA7/PC21 1921 May 18 Text in Princess Christian’s own hand of her speech at the opening of the RBNA Club, 194 Queen’s Gate.

RBNA7/PC22 1923 June 15 Order of Service for Princess Christian’s Memorial Service at Westminster Abbey.
