Leutstetten to 27 Queen Square, Bath

Dear Madeleine,

Thank you very much for your dear letter which gave me a lot of pleasure. I did not expect you would write for my birthday, as even my best friend always forgets it. I hope your new Swiss “Fraulein” will be nice and that you soon learn a lot of German so that you will understand German letters, I hate writing English I cannot do it well. Since we are back we have been in no pictures, only twice in the theatre, once we took Rasso with us, he was very excited and pleased. We only saw one opera now:- Don Giovanni of Mozart. It is very beautiful. We were sailing a lot now, once I took part in a sailing race with my father, but we had bad luck and were last. The evening there was dancing in the sailing club, I went there with my brother and danced till 4 in the morning. It was very amusing. I have finished the pink blouse I was knitting in Middelkerke. It is nice. We have been at some horse racing in Munich now, once there was an English horse, it pleased us most from the beginning and it won the race. It was called Gilt.

Ludwig has gone back to Sarvar in Hungary to finish his studies, he was very sorry to leave.

I will get to Lindau tomorrow to visit my cousins. I will stay there for sometime. It is a very nice place at the Bodensee.

Rasso has his teacher back and must learn now, he does not like it and is very lazy. Baby has holidays still for some time.

My best greetings to all of you. Yours sincerely

Deidi
