Москва, Кремль
3го Дек. 1914 г.
My darling little Anastasia,
In haste a word. Sisters will have told you all we did. — Snowing hard, very tired. Tell Baby I saw lots of wounded of his different regiments & told them I should tell him.

How are Sonia & Трина — love to them. — Invite Zizi once to tea or dinner, kiss her from me. So empty here & quiet without you three precious noisy ones.

Aunty Ella will await you at the station & look after you til we come.
Blessings and kisses fr. yr. old
