14th February 1939 14th February 1939 Princess Letter 53 14th February 1939 Leutstetten (via Koln) to 27 Queen Square, Bath Dear Madeleine! Many thanks for your letter. We have all been down with flu last week. It is a terrible plague over here, everybody has it, and many people rise too early and get all sorts of complications. We have been very careful and feel rather weak still. Papi was in Berlin for some days and saw the horse show. Ludwig is still in the nursing home, I haven’t seen him for a week. Mami told me his wound took a very long time healing. I’m afraid he will be still lying for a week or two. Muck has got her driving licence. She hasn’t used it yet, as she caught the flu the very next day. Baby ought to have arrived today, but she hasn’t recovered from the flu yet. Carnival is very tame this year. I have been only to one ball so far, flu made me miss another. Now there is only a week left and there is one ball and two dancing tea parties to which we are invited. Deidi has given up her plans to join us during winter or spring. She will probably come to Sarvar in the summer. Muck wants to go to England in August or September. I haven’t made up my mind yet. Either I go to England or to Italy or shall I try to get married?!!! Today everything is white with snow again. We seem to have a lovely cold winter full of snow this year. The last opera’s I saw were Rosenkavalier and Salome by Richard Strauss. When you get used to the music it is very beautiful. Fondest love.
