The Life and Tragedy of Alexandra Feodorovna by Baroness Sophie Buxhoeveden, 1928
The letter:
The children are getting on nicely with their lessons, they have English and French masters too; they ride much also, which they greatly enjoy. Baby is getting on, thank God, splendidly. Do have Louise photographed, so as that I can get a good idea of her now, as a big girl; Marie P. also has her hair done up now.
My Nurses' School has been opened now and makes a nice impression. I only hope it will be a real success. ...
