No. 20

28 November 1917 Tobolsk

How are you doing, Katia, my darling? I am writing to you along with my sister. It is frosty here now, but the sun is shining every day, and it is getting a little warmer. We have been thinking of you particularly these days. Have you received my letters? Nina wrote to us that she had seen Serg. Georg. and others. – We live the same way. We occupy ourselves with photography a little, when we have spare time, and it is not too bad. Have you spent your holidays well? How is Vict[or] doing; has he recovered completely? Pass my best regards on to him. I am writing to you in the afternoon, and we will go for a walk now. Today it is 16 degrees below zero. We are still swinging, but without jumping into the snow. Sometimes we sit on the small roof where we used to sit in the summer. In general, we do not have much snow. My warmest regards to your Mama, your brothers, and to M. N. All the best to you Katia, darling. “Jim” and Ortino are send their regards to you. I kiss you many times. Yours, A[nastasiia]
