Dear Madeleine!

Thank you very much for your letter. Deidi has got a baby. It is a beautiful strong boy. It was born on 6th. Mammi is there to help Deidi. She is very happy. I feel very proud to be an aunt and to think that Mammi is grandmother. Doesn’t it sound funny? The child is weighing 3470gr and 52cm long. I am very curious on seeing my nephew here in August. They will come to Baby’s wedding. It will be so nice to have such a small child in the house. I remember still perfectly Rasso when he was born. Ludwig is godfather and the baby we baptized Louis Gaston Joseph Marie Pie. I do hope your exams will be alright. My thumbs hurt already from keeping them up for you. We have got a sweet little deer. People found it on the crops and bought it here. It drinks the milk out of a bottle like baby’s do. We are going to the kindergarten exams. It is very amusing to see the small children play or say poems. Some of them are very clever and are able to dance the Csardas, that’s the Hungarian national dance. We are to be the Princesses and sit smiling in the burning sun and receive flowers and be looked at. It gives me such a shy feeling.

Much love Loll
