The letter:
... We felt so sad to leave you and dear Aunty and we shall never forget our long and pleasant stay with you and all your great kindness.
It seems so strange to find ourselves here without Papa and miss you both very much. Victoria is here till tomorrow and is looking well.
We have been busy unpacking some of our pretty photos and nice remembrances of the Jubilee year.
I hope you enjoyed your drive with the [illegible] after we left.
We think of you very often and all the happy days we spent together and will always look back with gratitude to your tender care of us.
I am Dearest Grandmama
Your loving and thankful child
Alix
