Hearty thanks, Katia, my dear, for letter no. 14. I cannot understand why you do not receive my letters; I also have not received many of your letters; I have not had nos 9, 11, 12, and 13. It is so silly! I always look forward to hearing from you!… How are you all doing? My hand healed long ago. These last few days the weather has been damp, but we still go for a walk every day. Everything is growing nicely in our kitchen garden. Vera has probably told you a lot of stories about everything here. I will be waiting for her to bring your pictures. Have you had the pictures taken by an amateur or by a real professional? I wish I could see Victor wearing his aiguillettes; he must look funny! How are your brother and all the others? Tell A. K. that we were thinking of him a lot today; you know why. And in general we often, often think and talk of you all. My Jim is in good health now, but once at night or in the daytime he almost choked, because he had caught cold and had difficulty breathing, but he has already recovered, and now he is running around as usual. Do you remember the hospital last year? Kiss your Mama for me. Well, Katia, sweetheart, excuse me for my stupid letter. I am writing it in the morning between lessons. My sisters are also here, they send their regards to you and to all yours, and so do I. I still hope to receive your letters that are missing. Pass on my gratitude to Ivan Andreevich for his regards and forward my regards to him. All the best, Katia, my sweet one. May the Lord protect you. I kiss you many times. Love, your A[nastasia]
