The letter:

Stavka 21 May 1916

My dear Mama,

I played in the woods while Papa went for a walk. He went 8 versts. I'm running late for my walk, which is why I am writing badly. Papa is at Headquarters now. We went on a boat today. Yesterday, while Papa was still sleeping, I got into his bed with a cushion and tickled him and tormented him. Please greet P. V. P. and Siniy, and the others. May God protect you +

Lovingly yours,

Alexei
