| Excerpt |
The article which we propose to the readers of the “National Museum Journal” presents new, now first published letters signed by Princess Ileana of Romania and dated between 1 January 1932 and 13 October 1936. The recipient of these letters of young Princess Ileana and their keeper over time was Alice Grunau (23 February 1903 – 28 July 1972), her best friend and confidant. Alice Grunau preserved with great care the correspondence from Princess Ileana and – thanks to some favourable circumstances – the letters are now found in Germany, in the personal archive of Mr. Vlad Andreas Grunau, diplomat and engineer, the son of Alice Grunau and engineer Caşin Popescu. |
