Rough English translation:

No. 11 12 July 1917

Thank you so much, Katia, my dear, for your letter of June 23. I think it is letter no. 8, but I have not received no. 7 yet. It is a pity, but maybe it will reach me some time. I am also very glad when I receive letters from you!… My cheek healed long ago without any consequences. A huge fly bit me; we have plenty of them this year; they are nuisances. We have just come back from a walk. We are still working in the garden. We have cut a lot [of dead trees]. The lime is blossoming now and smells wonderful. The weather today is chilly, like in autumn. How is your brother? Does his arm still hurt or is it absolutely fine? This time last year we were in Mog[ilev]; it was so nice there! And the last time we were there in November! We constantly think and talk about you all. Has Vera handed over our letters? I am looking forward to seeing your pictures!… Have you made many new acquaintances? All our people send you their regards; and I am sending [my regards] to all our wounded men. Well, Katia, my sweetheart, I am so sorry to write these boring things; we have some interesting [things], but I cannot [write about them]; you surely understand this, don’t you? I kiss your Mama many times. Have you ever met Taia Rav[.?] in the hospital 36[?] near you, remember? Best regards to everybody and to Vct[or]. I kiss you many times, sweetheart. May the Lord protect you. Yours, A[nastasiia]
