* Count (later Prince) Eulenburg
(1847-1921) was ambassador for Germany in Vienna from 1894-1903, years
before he, as an intimate friend of Emperor William II, was accused
as being homosexual. This initiated a major political conflict in Germany,
called the Harden-Eulenburg affair. Eulenburg thanks his unknown lady
friend effusively for all the good things she had given. Because of
a cold, he was unable to thank her in person in her box during the performance
of Wagner's Walküre. He hopes she was cured of her own cold and that
they will meet again soon.
