The Correspondence of the Empress Alexandra of Russia with Ernst Ludwig and Eleonore, Grand Duke and Duchess of Hesse, 1878-1916, edited by Petra H. Kleinpenning, 2010
The letter:
My darling Boy,
I am sitting in Minnie Cockrane's room, & I am roasting, as she has got a large fire. —
You bad fellow! Why do you never write to me? I do so much long for a line from you. I have not heard a word from you since you left.
How long are you going to stay at Jugenheim?
I heard from Tebe again the other day, & she sends you her best love. —
The Wales have arrived & look all so well, & are so merry as ever — they are so sorry that you & dear Papa are not here. I wish you were, what fun we might have. — The whole afternoon we have had fogg & rain, but it is not very cold. —
With a tender kiss, I am, Darling Ernie, ever your most loving Alix.
[P. S.] How is Alex?
Above: Alix.
Above: Ernst.
