Anastasia, Maria and Tatiana Nikolaevna Romanova, April 1917

“Christ has risen! My Golden priceless Papa. May the Lord let You peacefully and happily greet this holy day. I send you an enormously affectionate kiss, my very own dear Papa. Your loyal Plastun.”

- Olga Nikolaevna Romanova to Nicholas Romanov, 2nd April 1917

“Maria Nikolaevna was very ill; she was thinner, very prettier, her expression sad and meek; she apparently suffered a lot, and the experience left a deep impression on her.”

- Elizabeth Naryshkina (’Madame Zizi’), 3rd/16th April

“Indeed He Has Risen! Thank you so much my dear sweet Lili for both of your cards. I was so happy to finally get some news from you. How are you? By now I am completely well and take walks with Papa every day, and now we are breaking the ice with him. Alexei also goes outside with us. If you write to us, address the letters to the nurses at the Infirmary #3 on the Sadovaya Street, as the letters will get there fast and [it is] more certain. Did you get the nurses’ letters through Rita? Is G.[illeg] spending the holidays in Moscow at the sister’s. [illeg]. Have you seen Evgeni Alexandrovich, N.N. and Khv.? Heartfelt greetings to all of them. Does your husband write to you? How is he doing? It is almost autumn here already [illeg]. A lot of mud and water. Mama was lying down on the balcony a few times and writing to you. [Her] heart still hurts and is tired.

Well, all the best to you, my darling. Where is Alexander Nikolaevich? May the Lord keep you. I kiss you affectionately, as always. - And the others kiss you too. Yours Tatiana.”

- Tatiana to Lili Dehn, 5th April

“Olga is still very weak, - the heart was weakened by continuous illnesses, lasting for two months. She is very sweet, and Maria is charming, in bed with the remnants of pleurisy.”

- Madame Zizi, 9th/22nd April

“Thank you so much for the postcard, dear Tili. Maria is also very grateful. Now I take walks when it is warm out, with Papa, Tatiana and Aleksei. And how are you? I send you good wishes. I kiss you and the little one affectionately. Your loving Anastasia”

- Anastasia to Lili, 10th April

“Indeed He Has Risen! Darling Tili, I thank you immensely for your [holiday] greetings, and also send you [good] wishes. I am still in bed as [I have] inflammation in [my] left lung, [it] still has not gone away. Every day they put a compress on my side, and spread iodine so my skin is peeling. [I] tried to walk but [my] legs are like rags and I am swaying awfully, looking so foolish. At one point I had an ear ache but [it was] not too bad, now we all talk loudly. I kiss you affectionately three times.”

- Maria to Lili, Easter
