It says:

September 8th, 1889
My dearest, best father,
these lines shall (actually the sentence is not complete, the verb is missing) you my most affectionate and heartfelt congratulations for your (…)
I remain with a thousand kisses, your ever faithful, loving daughter, Alicky

I hope someone who’s interested in this reads my translation.

A letter from Alix.

I can’t speak German, but I’m hoping someone else does! All I can read is “Papa” at the top. I’m thinking this was probably to her father. Unless she called someone else Papa. 

I’m starting to think that this letter was cut off, if the verb was missing. Alix, who was raised with the German language from birth, would most definitely not forget to add in the verb. Has anyone found this letter in say, Lifelong Passion? I’m not with my books at the moment, would someone else check? Thank you!

Alexandra Feodorovna

… The way her dress curls at the bottom just makes me swoon and wish that I had floor length tea gowns.

Anyone got a year, it looks like the Standart?

The Grand Duchesses on a walk with their parents: 1903. 

This was actually taken in 1907 :) (Note the little dude next to Tatiana, does it remind anyone of a certain Tsarevitch?)

I have a better quality photo somewhere, but I’m afraid I don’t know where it is….

The Russian royal family during a visit to Sarov Monastery, Russia, 1903.

You don’t even know how excited I am to know that this photo exists.

Maria,Alix,Olga,two unidentified gentleman,Tatiana and Anastasia.

When or where?

Also, can anyone identify the two gentlemen?

I want to say sometime around 1914, due to Tatiana’s hair, I’ll just caption it that.
