Re: More Lehndorff findings!

<33 I've now read the longer posts (will probably not have time to reply to them tonight -- this has been really great, though! You are the best and most royal of readers! ) so I know more details, but also


18. Januar: Gesegnet seist Du mir! Unter Deinem Lichte wurde mein Prinz Heinrich geboren!

I got the second sentence but not the first! (I only know "Selig"...) And was kind of confused until I loaded it into Google translate, but unlike mildred I did figure out he was talking to the day :D Oh Lehndorff. You are something else.
