TO MY EMPRESS,
WITH LOVE AND FIDELITY ETERNAL
“When you are reproached—bless; when persecuted—be patient; when calumniated—comfort yourself; when slandered—rejoice; this is your road and mine.” Words of St. Seraphine.
Alexandra Feodorovna, from Tobolsk,
March 20, 1918
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I shall not fear. Thy rod and Thy staff shall comfort me.
