[APPENDIX B.]
LETTERS FROM THE PRIVATE SECRETARY OF HIS MAJESTY KING EDWARD VII.
Buckingham Palace, June 4th, 1902.
Dear Sir: In reply to your letter, I am afraid that the Royal Standard, which is the King's personal flag, can only be hoisted on the Coronation. If permission were given in one case, it would be impossible to refuse it in any other. I must remind you that you can always fly the Union Jack.
Yours faithfully, F. KNOLLYS.
The Vicar of St. Michael's, Folkestone.
Sandringham, Norfolk, Dec. 29th, 1907.
Sir: In reply to your letter of the 9th inst., I beg to inform you that the "Union Jack" being the national flag may be flown by British subjects, private or official, on land.
Yours faithfully,
KNOLLYS.
Barlow Cumberland, Esq. Port Hope.
