A letter from Alix.

I can’t speak German, but I’m hoping someone else does! All I can read is “Papa” at the top. I’m thinking this was probably to her father. Unless she called someone else Papa.

I’m starting to think that this letter was cut off, if the verb was missing. Alix, who was raised with the German language from birth, would most definitely not forget to add in the verb. Has anyone found this letter in say, Lifelong Passion? I’m not with my books at the moment, would someone else check? Thank you!
