The diary entries:
Mittwoch den 30 August/11 September
Went for our usual walk and to Irina. Reichskauzler fürst Hohenhohe came to Nicky and I received him afterwards. At 3 drove to Babichon. Nicky walked and I drove round all the lakes and he shot 11 ducks. A lovely evening and beautiful moonshine. We drove together after dinner. Saw Irina in her bath at 7.

It rained in the morning but the weather was warm. Walked as usual and saw Baby Irina at the farm. Nicky sat a long time with me and read. Schneiderlein came for my lesson. To-day Xenia, Georgie and Sandro left Copenhagen on board the Polar Star for Libau – Abas Tuman. Darling Papa’s Birthday, received many kind telegrams. Alex Erbach’s Birthday. Yesterday they had a fire at Schönberg. Went to Irina at 7 as usual. Count Lamsdorff came in the morning. Schneiderlein came for an hour’s reading, – after tea.
