The postcard letter:

Innigen Dank für Ihren lieben Brief den ich gestern erhielt. — Understand so well what your feelings must be now. — Yesterday Hamlet was given & the Grand Duke acted marvelously. — cold weather continues — all well. Best love, when free shall write a longer letter (By mistake sent this only off on March 6th)

English translation (my own; original English in italics):

Hearty thanks for your dear letter I received yesterday. — Understand so well what your feelings must be now. — Yesterday Hamlet was given & the Grand Duke acted marvelously. — cold weather continues — all well. Best love, when free shall write a longer letter (By mistake sent this only off on March 6th)
