Rough English translation:

28 November 1917

Tobolsk

I have just received your letter of 14 October; thank you very much for it, sweet Katia. We are always so happy to have any news about all of you.

We miss you and think of you always. Pass on our best regards [to all yours]. We are fine so far, thank God. We live quietly and monotonously; the time passes fast. These days the sun is shining, and it is frosty: 16 degrees below zero [Centigrade]. There is not much snow, so we have not proceeded substantially with the ice-mound that we started to build. We walk in the morning and in the afternoon, saw logs, and so on. Hug my goddaughter for me. And where is [my?] godson Panfil? Pass on my regards to him and to all those who remember [me]. All the best to you, my sweet Katia.

Olga

Pass on to your brother our best wishes and also to A. K.
