The letter:
My beloved One,
It is very sad not to accompany you — but I thought I would better remain with the little Ones quietly here. Heart & soul are ever near you with tenderest love & passion, all my prayers surround you — I am therefore glad to go at once to evening service when you leave & to-morrow morning at 9 to mass. I shall dine with Anna, Marie & Anastasia & go early to bed. Marie Bariatinsky will lunch with us & spend her last afternoon with me. —

I do hope you will have a calm sea & enjoy yr. trip wh. will be a rest for you — you need it, as were looking pale to-day.
Shall miss you sorely, my very Own precious One. — Sleep well my treasure, — my bed will be, oh, so empty.
God bless & kiss you. Very tenderest kisses fr. yr. own old
Wify.
Wify.
Above: Nicholas and Alexandra.
