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

27th January 1938 1/0 27th January 1938 Sarvar to 27 Queen Square, Bath Dear Madeleine! I am sure you are very much astonished of getting a letter from me, as I don’t write since the autumn. It’s very funny but it’s always Loll who writes to you and then one gets too lazy to write too. I hope you have not got to study too much and may go to parties. We are going to Munic next week on the 3rd and I hope to enjoy it a lot. On the 1st we have got a large dancing party in the next town and I am going to. It’ll be great fun. We’ll be all dressed alike and then people will never know if we are 3 or 6 sisters. Perhaps we’ll give a party in fancy dress in Munic. I want to learn sewing in Munic and Muck and I hope to be able to do a lot of skating. We do like skating, it’s so amusing. We are always trying to be like Sonja Henie and I think it must be very funny to watch us. Now of course there isn’t any ice and it’s very warm, just like spring. Did one see the “north light” (two days ago) in England too. We didn’t see it and are very sad of it, but other people say it was marvellous. We haven’t got anything to do, so I am sometimes practicing the piano and playing together with Rasso’s governess or also singing. Of course we can’t, but that does not matter. The others are riding everyday but I don’t, so I generally stay in bed rather late. Now we are reading a play of Schiller together. Each of us reads one person and so it’s quite a good training for reading and expressions. Deidi is all right. Her husband plays tennis and she is watching him, and they are going to the casino in Cannes or anything of that sort. Now I really don’t know what to tell next, nothing is happening here. Yours with love Baby Contact Brief History to inform us of additional information regarding this page

14th February 1939 14th February 1939 1/0 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. Loll Contact Brief History to inform us of additional information regarding this page
