LOADS of insight on Albert, or as he would say himself "Tons!"
I always find getting to know a historic figure through what's in his head and heart, go a long way to understanding his decisions and behavior. As for Albert, I found a very different individual than I had gleaned from the books, or rather a more complete view of him.
But what was most evident was the typical teenager that he was -- and the problems: Strict parents who tried to control a very free spirit; and the usual problems my own twenty year old has -- acne, girls, and money! :
Some of the letters are in the archives, but there are others I am currently trying to get a lead on.
Cheers,
Scarlett
