The Letters of Queen Victoria/Volume 2/Chapter 13/From Queen of Belgians 12 October 1844
The Queen of the Belgians to Queen Victoria.
Laeken, 12th October 1844.
My dearly beloved Victoria,—. . . I thank you very much for attending to all my recommendations about my father: I only fear that they will lead you to believe that we consider him as a great child and treat him like one: but he is so precious and dear to us all that I am sure you will understand and excuse our being over anxious ... Yours most devotedly, Louise.
