I hope and trust that all will go on prosperously and well on this subject of so much importance to me.
Believe me always, my dearest Uncle, your most affectionate, devoted, and grateful Niece, VICTORIA.
[Pageheading: CONVERSATION] _The King of the Belgians to the Princess Victoria._ _17th June 1836._ MY DEAREST AND MOST BELOVED CHILD,--I begged your Mother, in the meantime, to offer you my best thanks for your very pretty drawing representing the Provost of Bruges and his daughter[5]; I admired also that for your Aunt.

They do your spirit of invention honour, and it is a very good plan to draw subjects from books or plays which interest you.

You will feel the loss of a pleasant society in the old Palace, the more so as your relations are good unsophisticated people, a thing which one does not so often meet with.

I suppose that part of your London amusements will soon be over.

You were going to Windsor, which you will probably have left by this time.
