MARGARETE
(Beatrice Feodora, 1872-1954, Princess of Prussia, daughter of Frederick III Emperor of Prussia, wife of Frederick Charles, Landgrave of Hesse, 'Mossy', Victoria's grandaughter)
Fine Autograph Letter Signed to "my darling Nana"
passing on a message from her sister Princess Sophie who "has asked me to let you know that she has heard of a nurse who is willing to go out to Athens & begs you to see her before she decides to take her. She is called Edith Davies & is the sister of my nurse with whom I am so perfectly satisfied and who is excellent and suitable in every way ..." she continues with as much history as she has of the potential nurse who is leaving her present family as "the children are growing up. If she is as good as my nurse I think Sophie can not do better ... I am sure you will also feel sorry for poor Sophie to have such trouble with nurses. You cannot imagine how often I think of you dear Nana, and how I should like to see you again and above all show you my two sweet Babies ..." (Friedrich Wilhelm, 1893-1916 & Maximilian, 1894-1914, both boys were killed in action in the first World War), "They are such ducks & I am so intensely happy ... the little one is just two months old and thriving beautifully ... I am able to nurse him myself wh makes me so happy. He is called Maximilian, & the eldest Frederick William after dear Papa. Although he is but 13 months old he runs about all by himself and is most independent and extremely lively. This time I had a very quick recovery and am feeling so well ..." she ends with enquiries about Nana's health and a postscript "can you imagine me the mother of two boys?", 4 sides 8vo., headed with a fine crowned design of her name, Schloss Rumpenheim, 22nd December
