The letter:
Sweet child,
I kiss you and thank you tenderly for your little notes. I'm sorry I could not see you alone, but it's difficult these days. Soon I shall be freer, and then you can tell us all, and everything that interests you. You see, I am generally very tired and therefore often don't keep you all for a very long time with us, and often very sad and don't want you to see my gloomy face.
