Handwritten letter to Ekaterina Erastovna Zborovskai͡a describing the life of the Imperial family in exile in Tobol'sk.

Rough English translation:

Sweet Katia:

Thank you for your card and congratulations. May the Lord give you all the best in a new year. Have Victor and Gr[igorii] received the card that was sent in care of N.V’s mother, to her institution? I am no sure that she is still there, but I hope that they will forward it to her if she is not there. We constantly think and talk of you all. Please pass on to everybody our most hearty regards.

Ortino is in good health, but she is getting terribly lazy; she spends the whole day lying at the stove or on the sofas. She does not like to go for a walk. Well, I wish you all the best, sweet Katia. May best regards to Vitia and your Mama. Does Marusia M. ever write to you? Tatiana
