Sarvar to 27 Queen Square, Bath

Dear Madeleine!

I am sure you are very much astonished of getting a letter from me, as I don’t write since the autumn. It’s very funny but it’s always Loll who writes to you and then one gets too lazy to write too. I hope you have not got to study too much and may go to parties. We are going to Munic next week on the 3rd and I hope to enjoy it a lot. On the 1st we have got a large dancing party in the next town and I am going to. It’ll be great fun. We’ll be all dressed alike and then people will never know if we are 3 or 6 sisters. Perhaps we’ll give a party in fancy dress in Munic. I want to learn sewing in Munic and Muck and I hope to be able to do a lot of skating. We do like skating, it’s so amusing. We are always trying to be like Sonja Henie and I think it must be very funny to watch us. Now of course there isn’t any ice and it’s very warm, just like spring.

Did one see the “north light” (two days ago) in England too. We didn’t see it and are very sad of it, but other people say it was marvellous.

We haven’t got anything to do, so I am sometimes practicing the piano and playing together with Rasso’s governess or also singing. Of course we can’t, but that does not matter.

The others are riding everyday but I don’t, so I generally stay in bed rather late. Now we are reading a play of Schiller together. Each of us reads one person and so it’s quite a good training for reading and expressions.

Deidi is all right. Her husband plays tennis and she is watching him, and they are going to the casino in Cannes or anything of that sort.

Now I really don’t know what to tell next, nothing is happening here. Yours with love

Baby
