The letter:

Mogilev September 6, 1916
My dear charming Mama, Noble Lady!
Yesterday we went to the forest by a new road. On our way back we ran over a beautiful dog. It's very sad. I am writing to you by myself, so there will be mistakes. They removed the small tents (but not Aunt Mavra's) from the garden, I can no longer play. It is very cold here. I feel good and my 'stern' does too. Kisses to all.
God bless you.
Your devoted slave
A. Romanov
