“Much startled, on getting up, to hear that dear Vicky had this morning at 6 been delivered of a daughter, at the Neue Palais, Potsdam. Both doing well, but I did not expect the confinement quite so soon, so that I fear neither Dr Gram or the nurse, also not Ly Caroline Barrington, can have been there. — Walked a little with Louise & Baby. The dear old Camellia is still blooming & has done so ever since the beginning of January! The bushes on the Terrace are covered with flowers. — Saw Sir T. Biddulph before, & Sir J. Cowell after luncheon. It rained heavily, but cleared late, when I got a little drive with Lenchen. Ly Caledon, the Biddulphs & Mr Sahl dined. Vicky’s & her Baby’s health’s were drunk. — Augusta S. read. —“

I enjoyed the blog, but the title is for another granddaughter
Thank you for letting me know. I tend to schedule the journals in bulk so I hadn’t noticed the mistake. I’ve changed it now ☺️
