"LET'S HOPE THAT THE SO THREATENING CLOUDS THAT SURROUND US WILL FINALLY DISPERSE AND THAT PEACE BECOMES A REALITY"
SOPHIE
(Princess of Greece and Denmark, 1914-2001, Youngest daughter of Prince Andrew of Greece, elder sister of Prince Philip)
Fine Autograph Letter in French with Translation to Madame Virginie Kolp-Metaxa
thanking her "wholeheartedly for your letter, all your kind wishes for the New Year, and for the birth of my little nephew Charles. I too wish you and your husband, good health and happiness for the year 1949! Let's hope that the so threatening clouds that surround us will finally disperse, and that peace becomes a reality in the world and no more a fiction. This spring, my visit to Greece was a great and deep joy, after 10 years of separation. It was a deep emotion to see my dear country again, and all the relatives and friends. I left my son Charles with the King and the Queen, and now he speaks fluent Greek! Since the 1st of September, we live here in Salem, because my husband has become the director of the school "Schloss Salem". We are very happy to live here in this beautiful place and close to my sister Theodora. My 2 oldest daughters are at school in England ... Theodora and I were in Montreux for a few days in January, where we visited our cousins Olga and Marina. It was a great joy to see them, and we laughed a lot together. My husband makes me telling you many things, and I send many messages to your husband ...", with a postscript apologising for writing in French as "Greek is unfortunately too shaky!", 4 sides 4to., with original autograph envelope, Salem, 15th February
