Alexandra's New Year card to Gretchen von Fabrice, year 1895

Alix an Gretchen: Briefe der Zarin Alexandra Feodorowna an Freiin Margarethe v. Fabrice, aus den Jahren 1891-1914 (2002), published by Heinrich, Count of Spreti

My 900th post on this blog!

The telegram:

That His Peace may tend you,
and His love caress you,
Is the wish I send you
In the words: 'God bless you'
Alix 1895
Gedenke was dies Blümlein spricht!

English translation of the German part (my own):

Remember what this little Flower says!


Above: Alexandra (then Alix) and Gretchen von Fabrice.
