Crop of Princess Alix of Hesse, 1887 and Alix’s diary, 26th July 1887

“My own darling Ernie,

I am going to send you this note again through a Relations, as I am going to give it to dear Papa to take. You cannot think how unhappy I am that he is going to leave, although I am pleased for you. - What an awful pity that we shall not be home for darling Papa’s (50th) B.D. as it will be Irène’s last, before she marries. - But I am sure you will make it cheerful for him, as you are such a dear darling old fellow, - who is reddy [sic] to do anything to give an other [sic] a pleasure, & to make him happy. -

I hope Liko gave you my note. I am sure it must be much nicer for you now to do night excursions, is it not? Yesterday I stayed up for supper, that is to say dinner, as it was A.[unt] Louischen’s & A. Cambridges B.D. The three Prussian Cousins & Uncle also came. Aunt could not, as she was at London. Eulalie, Antoine, A. Marie & U. Lorne dined too. 

To-day Eulalie and [her] husband left. - To-morrow we shall take Papa to Portsmouth, & U. Arthur. The Prussian Cousins send you their very best love. - This afternoon, when Papa, Irène & I were driving with Grandmama, it poured fearfully. - It is fearfully hot & heavy here. Papa bathed to-day, for the first & last time. - I was painted by Tuxen to-day, & to-morrow must sit again.

Hearty love to the Aeta Bund*.

Now, Dearest darling Ernie, Goodbye & God bless you. Ever your own & very loving & true little Sister Axeli, Alix, Alicky, Xila or Colrettchen. 

[P.S.] Many 1000 kisses. Love to all at the Heiligenberg.”

- Alix to Ernest Louis of Hesse, 26th July 1887
