L.A.S.: "Marie Amélie", Frankfurt, August 4, 1853, addressed to her dear cousin (probably Queen Victoria), 2 1/2 pages, text in French, creases, but overall good condition. "My dearest cousin, I must thank you once again for the kind visit you paid us yesterday aboard the steamer, and for this charming Madonna you kindly gave me, I shall treasure it as a memento of a friend I appreciate as much as I love her, and this image will remind me of the short, good times I spent with you, and I would invoke the one it represents to obtain for you and may all that is dear to you. Your good heart had made you more far-sighted than I, and despite my strong desire to hasten my journey, I found myself so tired yesterday evening when I arrived here that my children and the Duchess demanded that I rest all day today in order to be able to go as far as Basel tomorrow. I found a letter here from our good Hélène, from the day before yesterday, she is being looked after in Paris, she still has a cough and she herself had a voice extinction. Farewell, dear good cousin, the whole grateful family offers you its respectful and affectionate tributes and the old lady loves you and embraces you with all my heart. Your devoted cousin and friend, allow me to give a tender embrace to Princess Louise, whom I was so happy to see for a moment".
