24 January/6 February 1915

Anya is out of the hospital. Her house is only a summer place and is freezing cold, so she’s staying in the palace with us. Papa has not gone back to Stavka, and will be at home until the fighting resumes in the spring. Mama and the Big Pair still have much to do at the hospitals, and they have hardly any time or energy left to look after Anya, so Mashka and I will visit her every day.
