I also kiss you most tenderly and thank you Lili my heart, for post card, and little ikon. God preserve you.

Added by the Empress:
Thank you for your dear letters—we understand each other. It is hard to be separated. Greetings to R. Gor. ✠ I have learnt only now how you spent the first days (in prison). It is terrible, but God will reward. Am pleased that your husband has written.
29th November, 1917.

My Dearest,
I am for such a very, very long time without news of you, and I feel sad. Have you received my post card of the 28th October?
