14th November 1936 1/0 14th November 1936 Leutstetten to 27 Queen Square, Bath Dear Madeleine! I think I did not yet thank you for your letter, so thank you very much now! Do you learn German, and do you like it? How did you find the book of Prince Adalbert of Bavaria. I don’t know it myself, but Mami knows it and said it is really the story of his mother, our grand aunt Pass. Who is a Spaniard and who made little notes which he arranged into a book. Because his mother can’t speak or write good German. Loll said your friend was staying with you, so I hope you had a nice time. I have to learn just as you have to with a governess. I will be glad when I will have finished with school. I have every day lessons and homework from eight to 11 in the morning and from half past 5 to 7 in the afternoon. After dinner we have to go out and I rather like it. The country is very nice and one has such a lovely view to the mountains, when it is nice weather. Just in front is the “Starnberger See” and then as if arising from it the Alps, and in the middle the Zugspitze the highest German mountain. Coming from the “Starnb. See” the Wurm (a small river) builds a lake at the bottom of the park of the castle. There we have two ships and in which we are sometimes rowing to Starnberg. It takes a little longer than an hour but is very tiring as there are swifts to pass. But I think it wont interest you very much so please excuse me. Loll and Muck were staying a week at a cousin who was in England till now, and amused themselves very much. They saw a lot of people and enjoyed it a lot. They came yesterday evening for an ice-polo in Munich. There were also the famous Austrian Stenuf, one of the best skaters and the Austrian Pausin, who were the second in the Olympics in pairs skating. It was very interesting and nice to see. The two children were so awfully nice. Tomorrow we will probably go to “Rienzi” of Wagner in the opera. There will be the singer who sang Tristran at London. He was at Munich first and then at Dresden in The Free Archer of Weber. What have you seen of new films? It’s a pity we never go to the cinema here. We are not living in that castle which is on the picture, but I was born there. Now our Uncle lives in it. Hoffentlich sehen wir uns bald wieder!* *I hope we'll soon be seeing each other again.

7th November 1936 1/0 7th November 1936 Schloss Moos, Station Langenisarhofen, Niederbayen to 27 Queen Square, Bath Dear Madeleine! Why don’t you write for such a long time? I am starving for a letter from you. Did I write something very rude in my last letter and you are cross on me, or what is the matter? How are you? Please write to me more often. We are O.K. I spent a very nice time in Lindau at the lake of Constance. I was there on a visit to my aunt, and some cousins of mine. It was very nice indeed to live on the side of such a great lake. There are swans swimming on it. We went out on a ship, but not sailing, only rowing. When you come for a journey to Germany try and see Lindau. It’s a lovely old town built on a island in the middle of the lake. Now I am staying here at Moos with Muck for a week. There is another sister of my father who has a girl a little younger than myself. We have a great time. My cousin Therese stayed in England this summer for six months. She liked it immensely, and tells us now how fine it was there. Oh! I should like to go there too, but I don’t think I ever will. I do not see any cinema, though we went very often to the opera. We saw Troubadour (Verdi), Boheme (Puccini), Lohengrin (Wagner), Barber of Sevilla (Rossini), Postillon de Lonjumeau (Adam), Der fliegende Holländer (Wagner), Cosi Fan Tutte (Mozart). I enjoyed them very much. You know, it is very easy for us to go because Munich is so near. We are only waiting for snow to come, then we shall go on ski. I can’t go yet, but I will learn it. It will be great fun. Please write to my Leutstetten address, as I shall be back there soon. Give my best regards to your family. Yours affectionately Loll P.S. I am reading heaps of English books. But I don’t think my English did improve. The stories are very nice and interesting. Did you ever read Marion Crawford? She wrote the “White Sisters” (it was a film too, very touching) or “The Undesirable Governess”, it was so funny, one burst with laughter. Perhaps you don’t like it, it is a bit old fashioned. Love from Lol Dear Madeleine! Here is a sequel to my letter. The first I wrote after getting up in the morning and when I went down to breakfast, I found your letter. So thank you ever so much for it, and please forget my sighing after a letter of yours. No, we have no Xmas puddings, though heard of them a lot. I think it a very nice custom. As I have to do nothing, not even learning, I enjoy myself rather easily. That’s why I go on visits every now and then. I can’t sit at home knitting, reading or listening in the whole day long. It would be too dull. I thought of learning to cook, bit I am not clever at all. I began sewing a pinafore. It is the first thing I ever sew in my life except doll’s dresses. I did not know how to sew on a machine. But now I am learning it. I feel very clever and proud, though I did not yet finish it. I am very slow, and often not at home, you see. Good-bye, Auf Wiedersehen, (when, I wonder? perhaps next year, if you come to Germany, it would be awfully nice.)
