"In the Grand Ducal Hessian Family Archive deposited in the State Archives in Darmstadt over 200 letters have been preserved which Princess Elisabeth “Ella” of Hesse and by Rhine wrote to her father, Grand Duke Ludwig IV of Hesse and by Rhine in the years between 1870 and her father's death in 1892. These letters are published here for the first time in English in their entirety. Many of the letters were written in German and these are presented here in the original language together with English translations and explanatory notes."

"The Darmstadt archives of the Hessian House Foundation (Hessische Hausstiftung) contain over two hundred and fifty letters which Ernst Ludwig received from his four sisters in the years 1878 to 1892. This is the first complete English-language edition of these letters. Despite being German princesses, the sisters were at the same time Queen Victoria’s granddaughters and therefore generally wrote to their brother in English. The few letters which they wrote in German have been published here in the original German together with an English translation. The same applies to German words or expressions which the sisters often included in their English letters."
