8 August 1917. Tobolsk.

Dear Katia! I am writing to you on board the ship. We arrived safely on August 6. We have not moved yet, because the house is not ready for us. A lot of funny things have happened!…Everybody is in good health. The weather is chilly; it is raining now and then. Kind regards to everybody from us. Our letter certainly will not reach you soon. This is sad. Best wishes. I kiss you warmly.

[note: there is no signature but this is Anastasiia's handwritting]
