Dear Madeleine!

Thank you very much for the Coronation programme, it was so kind of you to send it. I heard a great part of the ceremony on the radio I only missed the Coronation of the Queen. I read every word and so I will always know what was going on as we could not hear distinctly. A former governess of ours who is staying in London sent us a lot of newspapers with pictures of the Coronation. It must have beautiful and splendid indeed. We all hope very much to see it all in the cinema. Please excuse what I have not written before but I have very much to learn now. I have a new governess and we won’t finish until July as she had not to come to Sarvar (Hungary) then. I am learning much more than the others did, I find as my governess gives very god lessons and knows a lot. I am really learning with her a lot. I have not much homework to do but after the lessons I am awfully tied and very lazy and not able to do anymore. We did not see many operas or theatres this last time. The best theatre was “Madame Sans-Gene” which was very good and amusing. It is a French play in the time of the revolution and Napoleon. Last week we saw the tennis plays for the Davis Cup. It was very interesting. It was the play between Austria and Germany. We all wanted the Austrians should make more but they were not as well as the Germans. We liked the two Austrian players so much and only the German von Cramm and not the second. Deidi even knew of Graff v. Bawarowski from Vienna where she had danced with him. The weather is beautiful here and we are sailing a lot on the lake of Starnberg with Ludwig, who returned from Hungary last week. Have you seen some good films again? We saw Ramona some time ago. It is an American film in colours. It was very beautiful but rather sad and I had to cry. Where to are you going in the summer holidays? I think we will stay here and return to Sarvar in the end of the summer. I hope we’ll see you soon again.

Yours truly Baby
