My darling Mama!
I hope you wont be today very tied and that you can get up to dinner. I am always so awfuy sorry when you are tied and when you cant get up. I will pray for you my darling Mama in church. I hope that we can go some day to Annias little house with you. Please sleep well and dont get tied.

Perhaps I have lots of folts but please forgive me. It is very nice that you didnt go to church yesterday els I am shore you would be much more tied. Was it nice to [dine] yeasterday with Ania in your little room.

I try to listen what Mary says now as much as I kan. Did you see without us at Annias brother! I find him very nice, and how do you! Many, Many kisses to my beloved Mama. Sleep well and I hope that you wont be tied. Your loving dauther
Tatiana
