The letter excerpt:

Kranichstein: September 1.
... 'Sunny' is the picture of robust health, and sweet little 'sister Maly' sits up quite alone, and is very neat and rosy, with such quick eyes, and two deep dimples in her cheeks — a great pet, and so like my poor Frittie.

July 13.
The christening went off very well. Baby looked really pretty for so young an individual. ... 'Sunny', in pink, was immensely admired. She is still improving in looks since you saw her.
