The letter:
Mogilev, November 3.
My darling Mama.
I was very glad to speak with you and the sisters on the phone. It was hard to hear you because the wire is steel, not copper! We have a real winter — at 7 am it was 6 [deg.] R. There is a lot of snow.
How is Olga's cat doing!?!
My Kotka is a terrible glutton. Kolya continues to study with Zhilik. Yesterday they studied for an hour and a half at night, and then they drank tea with P. V. P.
It's time to send me my Salary. I beg you!!!!!!!!!! = 10!
I saw Zhenya's older brother in the cinema. He is a lieutenant in the Nizhyn hussar regiment. He is very likeable and looks like Zhenya.
God bless you! +
Loving and beloved
Your corporal
Alexei
