Alexandra's letter to Anastasia, dated December 9, 1913

Alexandra wrote this letter to her youngest daughter Anastasia on December 9, 1913. It is written in Russian. In the letter Alexandra mentions that her (physical) heart pain is at level 3. She ranked 3 as the worst level of her heart pain, and that's when her daughters knew that when her heart was at level 3, they really needed to be quiet, leave her alone to rest and not make any demands of her.

9го Д. 1913.
Душка моя,
Крепко благодарю за письмо. Радуюсь что Т лучше, но оставайся в постеле хотя днем. Да, завтра не надо учится еще. —

У меня ❤ №: 3 и я плохо себя чувствую, оттого до завтрака в кровати (так и Алексей попросил) — надеюсь Т потом увидать если не слишком мне трудно — я до 1 ч. н. у Алексея была. Я спала неважно. Целую Тебя. Мама. +

English translation (my own):

D. 9 1913.
My Darling,
Great thanks for the letter. I am glad that You are better, but stay in bed at least during the day. Yes, You don't have to study tomorrow.

I have my ❤️ at №: 3 and do not feel well, and have been before breakfast in bed (Alexei also asked) — I hope to see You then if it is not too difficult for me — I was with Alexei up to 1 p.m. I slept badly. I kiss You. Mama. +
