"Brussels
I forgot to ask you, dear
Prince, whether the porter
properly informed you
about a circumstance
to which I attach
little importance,
but to which
my daughter is very attached—
Taga – I have not…
yet had the opportunity
to arrange the whole
lower part of the
residence, and I
do know, however, that
Princess Lise had me
included on
the lists sent to
S. Elysée –
I would very much like
to know whether it is
an omission or
a misunderstanding?
It is always good
to know these things
quite exactly.
Receive, dear Prince,
my most affectionate
regards.
Princess
