Alix und Gretchen: Briefe der Zarin Alexandra Feodorowna an Freiin Margarethe v. Fabrice, aus den Jahren 1891-1914 (2002), published by Heinrich, Count of Spreti
The postcard letter:
Bei dem schönsten Wetter fand die Einweihung statt. Die Malereien sind noch nicht im Inneren begonnen. A.
English translation (my own):
The dedication took place in the most beautiful weather. The paintings have not yet started inside. A.
Above: Alexandra.
Note: The Russian church on the Mathildenhöhe in Darmstadt, dedicated to Saint Mary Magdalene, was donated by Grand Duke Ernst Ludwig (Alexandra's brother) and built between 1897 and 1899.
