Dear Maria Alexandrovna,

It is a long time since we had a letter from you and I am beginning to get seriously worried..,. How are you keeping? Where is Anya now? If she is still with you, give her a lot of kisses for me. What about Manyasha? Have you got decently fixed up, have you rented a suitable apartment?

We are all well. This is a wonderful autumn and Volodya and I often go out in the country. Mother is gradually getting used to the new surroundings, although she does not like big cities. She sends her regards to all. I embrace you fondly, you and Manyasha, and Anyuta, too, if she is with you.

Yours,
Nadya
