Today I received a telegram from Spain thanking me for the letter which I sent to The king and Queen on the occasion of the birth of Sofia.
It was nice to get a telegram as opposed to a letter, quite different.
The Spanish text and a rough translation is below.
De jefe de la casa de su majestad el rey
Sus majestades me encargan que traslade, en su nombre y junto a su afectuoso saludo, su sincero agradecimiento por las amables palabras de felicitación que han recibido con motivo del nacimiento de su nieta, la infanta Sofía.
Aprovecho la ocasión para enviar un saludo muy cordial,
Alberto Aza Arias
Translation

I take this occasion to offer you my very warm greetings,
