From Berlin
Writes fondly of Emma and her husband. Writes of how gracious the King and Queen were and how nervous she was before that she got a pain in her face that distorts it. Russians are the only foreigners around. How lucky she is to have three daughters settled and married to men she knew so well from Eton. Enthuses about England even though she has visited Switzerland, the Classic Italy and Crimea.Expresses dismay that the Franking is to be ensured by a hideous stamp with a youthful image of Her Majesty. The birth of the Princess Royal must ease all minds of the threatened Hanoverian line coming in. Grateful for her own health which get her through thick and thin.
