The letter:

May 3rd/April 21st 1894
At the frontier
My own sweet precious Alix,
We have just arrived to Russia and you cannot imagine with what feeling of happiness and gratefulness to God, I looked at the first people at our station who greeted us kindly. The journey was good but too hot. I thought of you my beloved one and read through all you had already written to me before, it was still a comfort those lines.


Above: Nicholas and Alix.
