Tatiana's letter:

My sweet darling angel, Mama dear,
I do so hope that you all sleep well and won't feel so tired tomorrow as you will probably do so much the whole day. Please forgive me, my Mama Sweet, if I ever hurt you involuntarily by saying something about your former home, but really if I do say something, it is always without thinking that I can hurt you, or something like that, because really, when I think of you I only think that you are our angel, Mama dear — a Russian, and always forget that it was not always so, and that you had another home before you came to Papa here. Do forgive me deary.

Now goodbye. I pray God give you a good sleep and that you'll be well and happy tomorrow. 1000 kisses to my own darling, sweet, precious Mama, from her ever-loving, thankful and true daughter
Tatiana

Alexandra's reply:

Thank you, sweetheart, for your loving words. You do not hurt me my little girlies, but those who are older might sometimes think but its all quite natural. I perfectly understand all Russian' feelings, and cannot approve our enemies' actions. They are too terrible, and therefore their cruel behaviour hurts me greatly — also what I have to hear out there. I am quite Russian, as you say but I can't forget my old home. 1000 kisses Mama +
