May 20th 1883
Dearest Grandmama
I wish you many happy returns of your dear Birthday and hope it will be a very bright day.

We have had such a pleasure in working the embroidery for the paper-rack which I hope you will like. We are going to Seeheim soon, and I am very glad.

I hope, dearest Grandmama, that Balmoral will do you much good, and with best love and kisses
I am, dearest Grandmama
Your most loving child,
Alix
