            <p>All my hearts congratulations on your marriage goes to you dear child, as well as
                  <emph rend="underline">all</emph> my very best wishes to you and your dear husband

                  time</emph> in which you can enjoy the happiness and all the joy, that your hearts

            <p>It does seem too bad to know you [are] in Europe, and after all, not so very far from

            <p>My intentions are to stay right here at home, during the entire summer as it feels

               <emph rend="underline">good</emph> not to be in a hotel. If the heat does not get too

Berlin W. 28 Kurfürstendamm June 4th 1911 My dear Julia

Your dear letter as a Gnädige Frau” has come and given me great pleasure.

All my hearts congratulations on your marriage goes to you dear child, as well as all my very best wishes to you and your dear husband for your happiness and may you both live a long long time in which you can enjoy the happiness and all the joy, that your hearts may wish. All my family join me in these wishes and congratulations which we all beg you both to accept.

It does seem too bad to know you [are] in Europe, and after all, not so very far from me, and not have the pleasure of seeing you. Can you not run over to Berlin? It would give me so much pleasure to see you again and to make the acquaintance of your dear husband.

How long do you stay in Europe?

We are at last home, after twenty months absence and after our many trips around this globe, and though we have enjoyed our trip very much indeed, I am glad to be home again.

The confusion in which we have lived since our return (just a fortnight ago to-day) I cannot describe. We have worked, all of us, as hard as we could, to get our Wohnung into shape again, and I am thankful to say that it begins to look like its old self again.

My intentions are to stay right here at home, during the entire summer as it feels so good not to be in a hotel. If the heat does not get too unbearable, I will carry out my plans and not leave home until my concert work begins again which will be early in October, in England, this time.

Write soon again, my dear child and tell me dear how you are, and with very cordial greetings from Mr. Tagliapietra and my girls and dear love from me,

I remain yours affectionately Teresa Carreño Tagliapietra
