The letter:

Mogilev, September 28, 1916
My own, old Mama.
This morning we were circling around Mogilev the whole time. We were in such streets where there is no thoroughfare, no passage. Sig has now gone to the hospital for bandaging. Our weather is bad. Yesterday S. P. lanced a carbuncle on Sig's left arm!!!!!

Yesterday there was a cinema. The pictures from the English front on the river Saima were interesting. It felt like you were there in person!

Uncle George (Zhorzhik) arrived yesterday. P. V. P., Zh. and Sig are very, very grateful for the obeisances. D. and K. also bow. Papa came from headquarters, and we're off to scoff down some lenten fare.
Soon, I'll see you soon,
I hate all of you,
Come quickly
It will be more fun for us to live
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Be healthy. God bless you +!
I don't kiss you, but kiss
Meeeeeeeeee.
A. Romanov.
