Dear Madeleine!

I send you the promised picture of Solzer now. It is not a very good one, but in our hurry of departure I couldn’t get a better one. We are at last in Sarvar now, and very sad to have left our dear Bavaria. I came in the car with Mami and Ludwig and we spent one night at the Grundlsee in the Salzkammergut at some friends. It is quite near the Wolfgangsee of the “Weissen Rossel”. It was beautiful there. I never saw such lovely mountains and valleys. The others had gone in one day from Leutstetten till here. Our house is full of guests now, quite unusual here. There are two friends of Ludwig, the two younger cousins of Leutstetten with their miss and a maid and for this evening we are awaiting Mary D’Arcy our Irish friend who will stay here till the end of November. We haven’t got time to arrange anything now and the house is in great disorder. I continue now after 3 hours running about and arranging our rooms. It is awful, we are arranging a living room for us girls and then my room and Deidi’s for Rasso, and to send Deidi’s things away, and then also the things of my governess who died in Leutstetten. She had lots of things here too. I am quite tired now.

We have a second summer here. The last two days were terribly hot, but today it is better. We play tennis and other things, it is quite amusing now. I must finish as we are going to dinner now.

Yours with love, Baby
