From Queen Victoria to the Crown Princess of Prussia – Windsor Castle, 31 March 1862
You are gone from me and those sad days you passed in this house of desolation are past! God bless you. Beloved Papa watched over you better than I can! He is ever near you! Bless you for your love – your helpfulness in so many ways. The remainder of my poor, weary life shall be devoted to you dear children! What I can do for you I will, and strive humbly to do something to make you feel less fearfully the loss of the greatest and best of fathers.1
