11/24 July 1917

Ratface Kerensky was here an hour ago to talk to Papa. We’re leaving soon, but he refused to tell us when or where! All he would say is that we must take plenty of warm clothes. That means we’re not going to Livadia. Papa says we have to trust this man.

Now he and Mama are deciding who will go with us. I hate to leave our dear home at Tsarskoe Selo, and I’m also frightened. Where can we be going?
