12th April, 1912
. . . Everything is booked. We come out on the 16th, the day after Sophia leaves school for ever, and are with you for two whole weeks. Probably quite long enough for you!
I’ve told William he must bring tails to Berlin – I suppose we shall be going to the opera and even perhaps to court? I will pack several evening dresses. By the way, I was surprised to hear that you and Thomas don’t usually change for dinner, that seems very modern. But I imagine the older Curtiuses maintain standards. Do guide me, my dearest.
I’m counting the days. . .
