Jagdschloss Moritzburg Nr 3. Fernansic von Osten

Dear Helen,
Mother and I are having the lovliest picnic in bathing costumes at another lake behind the castle and smelling marvellously of pine woods. The place is just latching [???] with dragonflies and they will keep sitting on us and rolling their eyes. I was in Berlin for a few days to fetch mother and what with sightseeing and interpreting and acting as a Cook’s guide here I haven’t had a minute to thank-you for your postcards or even write a letter home to poor lovely Daddy. We are going to have an orgy of music buying soon. [???] [???] so far only comes to 16-9 I think. I don’t know what the Bartocks costs but I’ll try for them. Debussy is about 11- a volume. Mendelsshon is dirt cheap unfortunately we have to go home on the 11th, I’m just dreading it. The opera opens tonight and we’ve bought a book of 12 tickets, being Scotch we’ll have to go every night during the week to use them up. With lots of love, Abby.
