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.

17th October 1937 17th October 1937 1/0 17th October 1937 Sarvar to 27 Queen Square, Bath Dear Madeleine! Thank you awfully much for your nice letter and the book. I am delighted to have it. I am very keen on books. We have got a bookcase all for our own, and it is quite full of lovely books. We have it in our own girl’s drawing room. And we feel very proud to have it. Muck and I have writing desks standing here and I really do write quite a lot now, don’t I? I feel quite ashamed for not having written to any of your birthdays. I must have lost the dates. Of course I remember Mr D’Arcy in Pride and Prejudice. But he is not related to our Mary D’Arcy. She is Irish and from Tipperary. She told me D’Arcy is a name often to be heard in England. At the Sacred Heart Convent of Roehampton there were 4 different D’Arcy’s staying there besides her. Now there are two of my cousins staying at Roehampton, while the two smaller ones stay here. They are those that stand near Rasso on Deidi’s wedding foto. Did you recognize Marieliesl? I quite forgot she was there at Middelkerke with us you remember. I saw Anthony Adverse, it is a good film only too long. Olivia de Havilland is charming and Frederic March is a very good actor. But I was sorry he was not Errol Flynn. I would have loved to see him, everybody admires him so much. I am sorry I just missed his great film “The Charge of the Light Brigade”. It was here the day before we arrived in Sarvar. I am counting the days till Deidi’s arrival. We shall soon have the shooting to start and many guests to arrive. That’s most of the fun. I love having guests and seeing people. Tomorrow we shall have the General of Szombathely here for lunch. Muck just calling me to come and play tennis. We have a tennis match now in which everybody has to play against everyone. I believe Ludwig will win or Mary and I shall lose. I am as bad as ever. Or maybe Miss Wright, the cousins’ governess is worse than me. Anyway, we shall see.
