My Cristina,

This morning in Westminster Cathedral I heard the Blessing of the Palms by Cardinal Bourne.

I longed for my “dear sweet Guide”.

Holy Week has begun, consecrated to the Passion and Resurrection of our Lord. I think a great deal about the Cross, the symbol and sign of our Faith because everywhere the Cross brings to mind the agony of Jesus for the sins of the whole world.

Together with the birth and life of the Redeemer, the Holy Cross always makes me think of the Supreme Sacrifice by which God was made man to offer us Salvation, teaching us that there can be no forgiveness without sacrifice.

I want you to know my thoughts about these things too because I feel I have to tell you everything.

Tonight I shall pray and keep vigil till late.

I love you Cristina. God Bless you always, my Angel.

Your Guglielmo

Savoy Hotel London, 14th May 1927

...Today I ordered the diamond diadem from Chaumet for your darling little head. I hope you will like it. I designed it myself because I couldn’t find anything in the whole of London that I really liked! It will be ready and in Italy in time for our Wedding.

You tell me that I have good taste in jewellery and I know your exquisite taste in clothes and everything else. Maybe I could be a jeweller and you a dressmaker--but in the same shop!! I am sure that whatever we did together we would always be happy. For the moment however the Radio gives me a lot of work...

...Remember that your promise to marry me is the highest and greatest honour that I have ever had in my life and that your Love is the supreme Grace that the Divine goodness and benevolence has granted me...
