tiny-librarian:Darling Grandmama,I thank you for your kind letter which your special messenger just brought - and for the kind things you say. Dearest Alicky, who is lying near me in bed, begs to thank you most tenderly for your letter and good wishes. Thank God everything went off happily and both she and the little child are progressing most satisfactorily. She finds such a pleasure in nursing our sweet baby herself. For my part I consider it is the most natural thing a mother can do and I think the example an excellent one!We are both so pleased that you accepted to be Godmother of our first child, because I am sure it will prove a happiness to her after your constant signs of kindness and of motherly affection towards us. The name of Olga we chose as it has as it has already been several times in our family and is an ancient Russian name.You don’t know, dearest Grandmama, the state of utter happiness I am in. It seems so strange to be a father!Baby is going to be christened so early, so as that event can take place on our wedding-day and Mama’s birthday. Dear Mama remained with us the whole time since the event and was such a comfort during the hours of expectation. We shall certainly send you some of baby’s long hair; she is a wonderfully big child and promises to have large eyes. We both kiss you very tenderly and I remain ever your most loving and faithful grandson,NickyThe only reason I’m reblogging this is because I really, really like whatever’s going on with the front of that jacket. I’ve never seen one with those toggles and flappy things before. -- source link
