The letter:

Mogilev, 16 July 1916
My darling Mama,
Yesterday, Cadet Makarov, the one who always stood in the corner, came with us on our walk. We played together and he told me lots about his corps (Orlovsky). In the evening, I was at the town gardens again. There were about 100 children there. The boys dragged over a canoe and the girls played cat and mouse. It is very hot today! I am reading a lot. May God protect you +! Kisses,
Alexei
