The letter:

Feb 24 1913
Tatiana darling,
I am so sad. You have again 39.2 — too bad, but Tr. says the same as I do, that you will recover at Ts[arskoe] S[elo] for the change of air. Better a cold bag on yr. head if it aches + only eat kasha + light egg things + see that tommy works well. Awfully sad you could have no fun, poor childy + that I can't see you. Have 2½ — I shall try before or after dinner if can manage. Have to walk so far to St George's hall + deputations stand in the hall. What glorious sun. Saw Rod[ionov] and yr. [illegible]. Ania will pop in to you at about 2, and A. Olga before that. Don't read much if head aches. Should rather for Trina to read to you or chatter to you. Blessings + kisses fr. yr. old Mama +

Above: Alexandra and Tatiana.

Note: kasha (каша) = Russian buckwheat porridge.
