Maria to Maria Vishnyakova---
Livadia. 30 August 1913
My dear Mary,
How are you? Thank you very much for the postcard with the picture of the Caucasus. Aunt Olga is leaving us today and Papa with the suite have gone in motors to Bakchisarai to see her off. She greets you very much. I didn't go because yesterday when I got up I had ear-ache. Alexei is well. He has already had 4 mud baths. I took a photo of him when he was being treated with the mud and will glue in an album for you. Alexei's leg stretched 175 degrees and the leg is almost straight.
Goodbye for now. Kissing you firmly,
