“My dear Rita, darling. Thank you very much for the greetings. I got Ksenia’s sweet letter, [she] congratulated me, such a darling. O.P. wrote me a long letter, about her wedding to the Baron. It is sad that everyone from the infirmary could not be there. He also wrote to me and said that he saw Vera Ignatievna at the infirmary. She is [wearing] epaulets, large boots with spurs, did not even ask the Baron how he was doing. So shameful. I did not expect how fast she would change. Although lately she had been very strange. What are you up to? Do you spend your time nicely? Bibi finally wrote, says that Kirilka got ill with appendicitis – poor thing. The only warm room [here] in the entire house is Papa’s and our brother’s bathroom, where we sat and had tea today. In the hall it is 5 ¾ [degrees] today – we walk around in our valenki and thick knitted sweaters. We still take walks outside twice a day. Well, goodbye Ritka darling. Write to me – I will be very happy. Tell Zinochka to address her letters directly to us – they will get here faster. May Christ be with you my dear. If Sashurka and N. Ya. are there, give them regards. All the best. Tatiana.”- Tatiana Nikolaevna to Margarita Khitrovo, 23rd January/5th February 1918 -- source link
