19th July 1937 19th July 1937 1/0 19th July 1937 Leutstetten to 27 Queen Square, Bath Dear Madeleine! Please excuse my not writing and thank you so much for the book. I think it is a little late to thank you now but I had to learn very much. No at last I have my holidays. Unfortunately I have not yet finished all I wanted to learn. But at least I Didi as much as I could. I think I learned more in these three months than I learned generally in six. When do you leave for Germany, and will you come to Munich. We all hope so much that you’ll come to see us here. We could make some small towns with you and show you parts of our dear Bavaria. If you are going to Lindau you really should come here, it is not very far and then you would see Deidi’s fiancée, who would surely be here, and lots of nice things. Deidi has to go to town every day to buy her trousseau and to try on some dresses and to try on some shoes etc etc. She’ll get Mammi’s wedding dress which is of Tull and Spitzen. When she tried it on she looked just like Mammi did only her hair is a little fairer. We have seen some nice pictures in Munich, this was called “The Life of Lord Clive’ with Loretta Young and R. Coleman did you see it already? Muck has seen “The Texas Rangers” and then we saw still some German films. Unfortunately there is no opera now, we saw only two theatres. In the end of August I think there will be the “Mozart Festspeile” they are every year, they are very good and there are always lots of English people coming to hear them. Muck, Loll and me are going to stay about a fortnight at our aunts in Wildenwart near the Chiemsee we will be here again at the end of the month. We like very much to go there. Unfortunately it is not situated quite near the lake and the aunts haven’t got any car, but an uncle lives not far away with his children and we hope that they’ll take us for bathing. I’m sending you a picture of the Silver Jubilee of our parents. I think Deidi wrote you about it. It was very nice and amusing. There is Pierre-Henri also on it. Yours very sincerely, Baby Contact Brief History to inform us of additional information regarding this page

14th July 1937 14th July 1937 1/0 14th July 1937 Leutstetten to 27 Queen Square, Bath Dear Madeleine, Thank you so much for your good wishes for my engagement. I am very happy, I have found the best man one can imagine and we are awaiting with impatience for the day of our marriage. We fixed it to be the 19th August. It will be at Nymphenburg, a beautiful castle at the end of Munich, where I was born and where we always lived until after the Great War. Later I will live at the south of France near Cannes. We want to pass our honeymoon in Italy. I was very glad that you are coming to Germany for the summer. If you come to Bavaria we hope to see you too one day. You could visit us in August when you are in Munich. If you come in the beginning of August I could still see you and you would also see my fiancée, only don’t come in the last days before my wedding because we would have no time then. In Bavaria there are many beautiful towns to see, Wurzburg, Nurnberg, Rothenburg, Dinkelsbuhl, that is a little town just so now as it was hundred’s of years ago, Regensburg, Landshut, Hugsburg, Lindau and Munich and you would also go in the mountains. They are grand you will see. Muck is very pleased with the book you sent her, Loll will send you some photos, it is one she took on the sailing boat of me and my fiancée. Now I am a little lonely here because he had to go back to France to get some papers for our wedding. I hope soon to hear from you again and of your plans for the summer. With my love, Deidi Contact Brief History to inform us of additional information regarding this page

2nd July 1937 2nd July 1937 1/2 2nd July 1937 Leutstetten to 27 Queen Square Dear Madeleine! I have great news to tell you. Deidi is engaged. Now please don’t get struck by the lightning but she really is. He is called Prince Pierre Henri of Orleans-Braganza and is 28 years old. He is very nice and good and they are awfully happy together. He is not tall, and brown and very sympathetic. He used to live near Cannes on the Riviera but he really is half French, half Brazilian. You see his great grandfather or grandfather has been Emperor of Brasilia. I believe they are going to live at Mandelieu near Cannes or somewhere on the Riviera. But they have not made up their minds to that yet. They want to become married on the 17th August, but they are not quite sure as to that as a cousin of his is to be married at almost the same time. Anyway we shall not return to Sarvar before September. They fell in love at Lindau because he is a cousin to some of our cousins there. That is why we have been staying so much at Lindau. Now what about you coming to the continent and to Germany? Why not come to Lindau for a few weeks. It is a lovely old town on the lake and you may go swimming and rowing or paddling or sailing as much as you like. And then please come to Munich. It has got the most beautiful buildings and picture-galleries and museums. One could spend month’s sight seeing. I am sorry not to be able to invite you for a stay at Leutstetten but we really have no room. We should be glad to see you for a day here and meet you at Munich and at Lindau. We are not going anywhere this summer. Now we are busy preparing for the Silver Jubilee of our parents. It will be next week and we have heaps to do. We shall have about fifteen to twenty guests. Then we shall arrange Deidi’s wedding. It will be at Munich but we are not sure where. Maybe at Nymphenburg, a lovely Rococo chateau just outside the city. Deidi and most of us were born there. Our parents used to live there till after the war. Deidi’s fiancé is here now for a week or two. I shall snap-shot them and send you the foto. It was awfully exciting to see them fall in love at Lindau, you may be sure of that. Good-byes for today, please forgive my not writing earlier but I could not tell you before they were engaged, and it is so difficult not to tell at all. Much love, Loll Contact Brief History to inform us of additional information regarding this page

9th June 1937 9th June 1937 1/0 9th June 1937 Leutstetten to 27 Queen Square, Bath Dear Madeleine! Thank you so much for your letter. Please excuse that I did not write for such a long time now. Baby thanks you very very much for the nice book you send her and your letter, she was so pleased to get it. She would have answered since a long time, but she has to learn now a lot and has really no time, so she asked me to write instead of her. I have been speaking and writing French the whole time now, so I forgot my whole English, you must excuse the bad writing. I have been in Lindau at the Bodensee for some time now to visit cousins of mine. I spent a charming time there, we had beautiful weather and made a lot of excursion looking at old castles, beautiful churches and visiting some other relations living near by. Once we went sailing when there was much wind, and we saved a poor man who had fallen in the water with his boat and was very tired and cold. Here it is very hot too and we could bath already. Muck and Loll are at Lindau now. Ludwig is at Sarvar in Hungary now, but he will come back next month. Yesterday I was at the opera with Mami, we saw Salome by Richard Strauss, I don’t like it very much, but it was very well played by Hildergard Ranczak who also played that part often in England. We went to sail some days now, when there is nice wind. Ludwig took part in the racings of sailing boats and won every time, he is very good at it. I hope you are all well. Baby was so glad to get your nice book, please take this letter also as her thanks as she really has no time.
