The Ambassador writes home

The letter on the left was written in 1943 during the Second World War by Sir Archibald Clerk Kerr, British Ambassador in Moscow, to Lord Pembroke at the Foreign Office.

Those of you without 53" monitors can read it here or there is a transcript here. I wonder what Sir Archibald would have made of the plonker sitting to the Queen's right in yesterday's picture. Also available here.
