A fine A.L.S., `Sophie´, two pages, oblong 8vo card, [Luzern], 18th July 1920, to `Dolly´, Dorothée de Talleyrand, in German.

She further refers to the happiness that the arrival of her two sisters, the Prussian Princesses, will bring to her solitude and points out the sadness of the empty city and hotels. Three months later her sorrow and solitude increased after the death of her son, Prince Alexander, who died at the early age of 27 from the effects of a monkey bite. A lengthy untranslated letter. VG
