Kiev. On the train. 29th October. Evening. 1916
My dear Mama,
I have just said goodbye to Babushka. Papa is reading in his compartment and will soon go to dinner with Babushka. It is raining. Babushka had a big luncheon. After that, I played in the garden. We rode around the town and I was with Aunt Olga. She kisses you all. Bow to the wounded and to the sisters. Kiss the sisters firmly. The lord protect you. +
Lovingly yours,
Your
Son
