The letter:

Mogilev 19 July
Dear, sweet Mama,
Yesterday I got a present from General Dubensky — two spoons and other things which he brought from his position. Yesterday, there was an awful wind but it was warm. We went for a ride on the "Desna" again. Makarov was with us. It is so much fun playing with him. Seryozha made everyone laugh at the town garden again. V. N. has gone to take P. V. P. to the station. Thank you for the letter. May God protect you all+!
A. Lyolya.
