25 June 1917 A.A.

Hearty thanks for your nice letter that made me so happy. We also remember everything, and we are constantly talking about that time. Our whole day is strictly scheduled, so the time is passing quickly. – Do you remember August 24 on board the “Dneper” and July 11?!… - We go for walks every day, water our kitchen-garden, and usually pour water on ourselves, because it is so hot, and my brother also pumps water on us! – How is your family doing? I am sitting on a window[-sill] and writing to you. – I am going to classes now – not much fun!. But this is the reason why I have to stop writing. I wish you all-all the best. May the Lord be with you. We remember you always. A[nastasiia]

I am sending my most hearty wishes and regards. O[lga]

I remember you and I think of you often. My best regards. M[aria]

I wish you the best, I am sending my hearty regards. T[atiana]
