The letter:

Stavka, 9th December 1916 г.
My dear Mama.
Yesterday we again went into the forest and played at robbers, it was very jolly.
As usual I had the pony.

The snow is now very deep and the trees are quite covered too, So that we often get a shower of snow as we go under them.
With much love from
Alexey.
