Crom Price the hetherland netherlands folder 1-43 February 16, 1943. Dear Juliana:- What children you and Bernhard both are& I had no idea until yesterday that you both had had the mumps -- and what an incon- venient time it was for you. I am, of course, delighted that all goes well with the baby -- I heard about it when I was in Casablanca, Morocco. I greatly look forward to seeing my godchild this Spring -- and Go not forget that Hyde Park awaits a visit from all of you when you come in this direction. I hope that Mr. Mackenzie King officially arranged it so that the baby was actually born on Dutch soil, but I cannot help wondering whether a lot of little Canadian bahies were also born on Dutch soil the same day. Affectionately your old uncle, H. R. H. The Princess of the Netherlands, 541 Acacia, Rockliffe, Ottawa, Canada. February 16, 1943. Dear Bernhard:- I had no idea that either you or Juliana had had the mumps until I saw Marthe and Olav yesterday. I am terribly sorry for both of you but I am delighted that the baby apparently has not caught it. By the way, while you are still in Ottawa I hope you and Juliana will talk over plans for this Summer. If you decide, for instance, to go back to the same house at Lee, I think it would be well to start soon to negotiate with the owner -- else it might be gone to someone else. It will be grand to see you here on Tuesday, the twenty-third, and I hope you can stay with us as long as possible before you leave on the return trip. I want to tell you all about my North Africa trip, and also give you some messages for your Mother. Always sincerely, H. R. H.
