A brief note in a childish - but practiced - hand, presumably to one of her five surviving paternal, or two maternal, aunts: "My dear Aunt, Lehzen sends you the Extract with her humble duty. Victoria." Baroness Louise Lehzen was the future Empress's governess, protectress (and later companion) who wielded great influence, especially in resisting the strict and repressive "Kensington System" of raising the young princess imposed by her mother the Duchess of Kent after the death of Victoria's father. Light foxing, folded twice but in very good condition.
