The letter:

Mogilev 29 September
My darling Mama,
The weather was changeable all day yesterday: it would rain and then it would clear up. Our walk along the Dnepr was nice. There was so much water in it that the banks were almost covered. There’s gale force wind today. There’s almost no leaves. Dark clouds are rolling across the sky, threatening terrible rain like last night. Every day Sig-sig goes for a dressing but the rest are all healthy. Tell Olga that we have here one young and handsome Romanian. It is time to finish. I am going to write to Siniy now. Papa has gone to his headquarters. Our quintet (P. V. P., Zh., Sig, Dim, N. P.) send big regards. May the Lord God protect you all.
Kisses
Your
A Romanov
