Dear Friend Laszlo

HRH is sending heartfelt greetings to you and yours and thanks you for the picture, joyfully remembering the pleasant hours Her Highness spent with you. On Tuesday we are travelling to Leermoos, Hotel Drei Mohren, and Her Highness would like to invite you and Lucy to come to Partenkirchen on a nice day, from where

[Page 2]

we would pick you up by car.^[1] Obviously, you would have to let me know in advance, and you would have to leave Tutzing early in order to arrive here in time for lunch. I will let you know how long the car journey takes from Patenkirchen to Leermoos, I think 1 1/2hours.

Hopefully it will happen. Princess Victoria is also staying with Grandmama. Thank you for your kind letter.

With best regards | Your truly devoted

N. von Schmidt

[1] In the late summer of 1910, the de Lászlós spent a holiday in Bavaria. Lermoos is an Austrian village in the district of Reutte, Tyrol, which is situated a few kilometres from the Bavarian border. The de Lászlós accepted Mathilde, Countess di Trani’s invitation and it was there that the artist executed [111393], a drawing of the twenty-year old Princess Auguste Viktoria, the Countess di Trani’s granddaughter.
