The letter:

Kranichstein
June 10th 1882
Dearest Grandmama
I thank you very much for my nice watch — I like it so much. I will try to always be a good girl. Please do not be angry that I did not write for your birthday. I am so sorry you minded it. Victoria helps with this letter. I hope soon to be able to write one alone. This is my new photograph, I have not got one yet of Victor Erbach.
Goodbye dearest Grandmama
I remain
Your loving Grandchild
Alix
