I wish I could have joined you at your picnic by the lake; how often I think of those lovely pone-lilies & wish I could paddle in the 'outlet.'.. Count Lewenhaupt [her son] joins me with kind remembrances to yourself and husband.." Handsomely penned in black ink on high quality lettersheet featuring an embossed crown insignia. .
