In 1910, Grand Duchess Olga Nikolaevna of Russia persuaded her younger sister, Maria Nikolaevna to write a letter to their mother asking if Olga be given her own room and be allowed to let down her dresses. Maria tried to persuade her mother it was her idea to write the letter: 11th May, 1910 My dear Mama! Are you well? I want to tell you that Olga would really like to have a room of her own in Peterhof, because she and Tatiana have way too many things and way too little space. Mama how old were you when you got your own room? Please tell me if this can be arranged. Mama, how old were you when you started wearing long dresses? You should not think that Olga also wants to wear long dresses. Mama when you transfer both of us or just Olga, I am thinking it would be convenient to same place where Anastasia had diphtheria. [crossed out] Mama since you wanted Tatiana [end crossed out] I kiss you,Maria P.S I made this up to write to you. -- source link
