October 4th 1889
My beloved Grandmama
I cannot tell you how sorry I was to leave, after the delightful & happy time I had spent with you at Osborne, Wales & Balmoral, — over and over again, I thank you darling Grandmama for all of your kindness to me, — and I shall always look back with pleasure on that lovely time. —


Above: Alix.
