  • Princess Letter 58

    27th November 1939 27th November 1939 Princess Letter 58 27th November 1939 Sarvar to 26 Penhill Road, Cardiff Dear Madeleine! I can’t say how pleased I was to get your letter. Thousand thanks. I am so glad you wrote to me in spite of war, it couldn’t break our friendship, could it? Well there you are, studying medicine. It must be very interesting. And how useful its is, now when so many people get wounded. Do you any nursing or only studying? Many of my friends are nursing, as a matter of fact, I feel quite useless, but as Hungary is neutral, I havn’t got any opportunity here. Besides I can’t speak enough Hungarian, although I am studying this language since more than a year. It is very difficult, Muck is also taking lessons. But I am afraid I will never be able to say one correct sentence. It has got much to much grammar. Life hasn’t changed much here, it is only a little more quiet. There won’t be any food shortage here as Hungaria is an agriculturing land. But of course, coffee and tea are missing. I am not very sad about it, as I don’t like it either. In Germany they only get 4 eggs in a month, very little butter and bacon, a little meat, but enough bread, potatoes, fruits and vegetables. Mami has been out there. She stayed nearly two months with Baby, as Baby got a little girl. She, the little Elisabeth was born on October 22nd and Mami is her Godmother. I am very proud of my niece. Baby is very happy and prefers a daughter to a son. Her husband is also very proud. Deidi is still in Mandelieu near Cannes. Did I tell you she has two boys. The second, Eudes, was born in June. I am very glad her husband has not to fight either, as he is Brasilian. They want to go to Brasilia in December. It must be a very interesting land. My two brothers are here, I can’t say how glad I am about it. Besides I doubt if Ludwig would be able for military service, as he cut his leg last spring while skiing, and his calf isn’t any more what it was and he is slightly limping. In one or two years he must be operated again to fix it up.We had a very good time here during the shootings, heaps of guests and thats always great fun! Muck and Ludwig went hunting on horseback for the first time this year. They enjoyed it immensely. I had to stay at home, as I just caught a very bad cold. I was very disappointed. Now the weather is to bad to ride outside, so we must ride only in the covered riding hall. I must try out the young horses now and find one for next year for me. I am very busy sewing and knitting for Xmas. Imagine it to be in 4 weeks already. I’ll never finish all the presents I want to make for my family. Rasso was very proud as he shot a squirrel and two feazants yesterday. I shot the first hare or rabbit the other day. I was very excited. Afterwards I had to lie down on it and everyone was allowed to give me a strike with a stick. That’s the custom here. I am glad they were polite and didn’t strike me too hard. The only change and amusement here is going to the pictures. I saw “In Old Chicago” and “The Great Waltz”. “The Great Waltz” is the silliest, most American film I ever saw. How could they do such a stupid film? But “Chicago” was very good. I like Tyrone Power, as a matter of fact he is my favourite actor. I got quite mad when I saw “Suez”. It is a marvellous film, although the history is all wrong. Loretta Young wore the most beautiful dresses and Annabella is very good. I am afraid the Hollywood will spoil her, in her French films she was marvellous. I saw a very good French film the other day, Prison Sans Laveaux acted by Corinne Luchaire, she is only 16 years old, but one of the best actresses I ever saw. I must say good-bye now, and I hope you will write soon. Your letter took 11 days to arrive. Please give my kindest regards to your Aunt Eileen. With fondest love.
