MARIE
(Princess, 1849-1922, elder daughter of Karl, Grand Duke of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach, wife, 1876, of Heinrich VII Reuss-Schleiz-Köstritz)
Long autograph letter signed, in German, to her son 'Ikko' ( Heinrich XXXV )
for his 14th birthday (1st August), a serious call to examine himself and root out any thing of which he is ashamed, "like the wild shoots on a peachtree, to give its fruit more strength ... as a younger child you were never brought up so strictly as both your parents, and that takes its revenge", "you are serious about the Navy, so become a seaman !", he will need Mathematics, Greek and French, "let preparedness be your watchword !", quoting in English "Where there's a will, there's a way", ending "your Mâ Zitta" (perhaps her pet name), 4 sides 8vo, Trebschen, 31st July
