Eisenach

Do you remember this view on one of our many expiditions in the pine forest? It’s a pity you aren’t here now we miss the wee brown and the purple heather.
We are all very sorry that you couldn’t come to complete our merry little party.
From E. V. Kaneke.
Much English [???] E von Kirche [???] as the others of the party have not entirely used the space I generously left them there is room for very much love from Jane.

Eisenach, Die schone Wartburgstadt. Blick vom Scivalbennest auf den Wilheimsthaler See

This is the lovely kind of country I’m staying in and it’s all as beautiful as this, even though I still prefer Munich somehow. I think I’m getting more like father and I’m beginning to prefer town life. In Munich too you had such lovely parks in the town itself and the glorious country so easily within reach that you had town and country at hand whenever and whichever you wanted. It’s market day in Eisenach today and outside in the marketplace (I’m writing this in the po) the little stalls are all setup with stripey umbrellas and the picture is the one out of a story book and has to be seen to be believed. Frau von Kaneke was showing us some darling little books after the style of the story of Supo[???] and Ms Bunny and she’s going to take me to the shop in the town one day so that we can buy some. She has a sweet little one about wee children and I want the same one.
