Grand Duke George Mikhailovich: Letter to Princess Nina containing a Letter from the Four Grand Duchesses, August 1, 1916
Inscribed in Russian: On the third day at 11 o'clock in the morning the following people came to visit me: Olga, Tatyana, Maria and Nastasya; they enjoyed it enormously here; first we went around my little garden, the larger garden and pine grove, and then we sat in a covered gazebo and fed chickens, who came running from different directions to my call. They stayed with me for more than an hour and then I drove them, or better to say in their car we all went together to the Tsar's Headquarters for breakfast. This happened on the 29th; I asked them to write their names for you; and so they wrote and I am sending it to you, as a testimony, how comfortable it is in my Grebenevo.
Grebenevo / We are sitting at papa's in a cozy little wooden house, 29 July 1916.
