20th May 1938 1/0 20th May 1938 Sarvar to 27 Queen Square, Bath Dear Madeleine! Thank you very much for your letter. I spent a week in Austria with Mamis brother and his wife. Not the one you know from Middelkerke. They are so sorry they have no children. I did heaps of chicken farming there. It was great fun. Here in Hungary everybody has chickens, everybody. So chicken is practically the cheapest meat. I am having my summer frocks made too, it is great excitement. We really need them now. It was already very hot. But today it is raining a little. That’s excellent for the fields and woods. I heard that England was so dried out. Muck wrote me all about it. By the way, when are you going to London? Muck wants to go down for the first days of July. Couldn’t you meet her. It would be fun. She has got a Mademoiselle of us there and wants to see London with her. Have you got her address? I seem to be very lazy, but I am doing something the whole time. In the morning I ride, then take a delicious long bath. After that I sleep or write letters and do my Hungarian homework. I take lessons now, together with Baby. But it is a rotten language, Chinese or Zulu must be much easier. It really is a shame, we live here since 15 years and don’t know any Hungarian. I am reading French books. I am afraid I might forget all my French. And when Deidi’s husband comes along, we shan’t be able to talk. He does not know any German. It must be pretty hard for Deidi to speak French all the time. But she is so happy. Mami is going to see her now. I hope Robert has quite recovered from his pneumonia. It must have been awful for you. I am so sorry you lost your cat. Maybe it was over run by a car or shot while eating birds. I am so sorry I always forget your birthday. Please forgive me. Although we are very late, Baby and I are sending a little present. I hope you like it. Fondest love Loll Contact Brief History to inform us of additional information regarding this page

15th April 1938 1/0 15th April 1938 Sarvar to 27 Queen Square, Bath Dear Madeleine! I wish you a very happy Easter. I do hope poor Robert is much better. You must have had a very bad time during his illness. Thank God he is much better now. Muck is in England now. I don’t know her address and cant write to her. Its such a funny idea to have one sister in England and the other in France so far away. Here it is cold now and windy. I wish that ugly wind would stop blowing for once. All the fruit trees are in full bloom and our garden is lovely. I hope Baby is recovering soon, she seems to be ill all the time with slight colds and flu. I wish you again all possible luck and happiness for Easter. With fondest love from Loll (same letter) Dear Madeleine! Many, many thanks for your good wishes. I was so sorry to hear of Roberts illness. I do hope he’s quite well again. Where is he going to? Are you coming to the continent this year again or will you stay in England? I think we’ll stay here for the whole time. I would have loved to hear you talk German to that doctor, it must have been about the same as us talking Hungarian. Loll & I having Hungarian lessons, I think it’s the worse language you can learn, even much much worse than French. You just break your tongue and I think I also forgot my English by it. Muck was in Luxembourg and I think is now already in London. It’s a pity England is so big that you cant see her. She is going to Birmingham and then going to Scotland to Aberdane or how its called. She had to travel alone till Munich and of course her trunk got lost at Vienna and when she went on to Luxembourg with my aunt and stayed there for some days, she had nothing to change. But she enjoyed herself very much and they were very nice to her. I have a cold again and am lying in bed, but I’ll get up today. Since Munich I have already had three now, and I am very cross at it. Our marriage will be one of the first days in August. I hope all will go well till then. We have had rather a troubled time now and we have no idea where to settle down. Perhaps even in Switzerland with my fiancés brother and family. We were very glad that Gottf. had been here all the time and he wont go away so very soon. Mammi and I had been to Budapest to buys things for the trousseau. We are perhaps going to Munich at the end of the month. I would love to go. I hope you’ll have nice Easter holidays. Bye-the-bye what are you studying now. Please remember me to all your family and still many thanks for the good wishes. Yours with fondest love Baby Contact Brief History to inform us of additional information regarding this page

26th March 1938 1/0 26th March 1938 Sarvar to 27 Queen Square Dear Madeleine! Thank you very much for your letter. As you see we are all back here in Sarvar. We left Munich on the 3rd, and Muck and I went to some friends for 3 days. We could not go to our aunt, as there seems to have been infant paralysis down there. Mami took Baby to Austria, where her engagement to Archduke Gottfried of Habsburg was announced. Now, what do you say on that? I knew about it since January, but of course was not allowed to talk about it. He is 36 and she nearly 18. They are going to be married on 3rd August. He is very tall and dark and very good-tempered. Rasso likes him so much and always calls him to play and talk to him. I am very happy about it, but the thought of one more of us leaving home is rather sad. Deidi is very well and I am looking forward to seeing her here for Baby’s wedding. Muck wants to go to England next week. She is going with our aunt whose two girls are at Roehampton in the Convent of the Sacred Heart. She will go to London on the 4th or 5th of April and then go on further to a place near Birmingham with a Roehampton girl. She wants to stay there for a month or two and then goes on to Barra Castle in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. She got these two invitations through Mother Burnett of Roehampton. We are all very excited about her going there. But she has to be back in July, in time to help for Baby’s wedding. I have got mumps but not very strong. I caught it in Munich at a cocktail party. One of the boys had it and now more than 6 people who were at the party got it. We started tennis again as it is quite like in summer, so warm. The trees are green and birds singing. Even our stork came back already. Stork is a very big bird, white and black with a big nose, living on roofs of houses and eating frogs. Much love Loll If you want to write to Muck, just send the letter to Roehampton Convent of the Sacred Heart, London SW15 Contact Brief History to inform us of additional information regarding this page
