Oh Sunny, I thank you very, very much in advance for your translations!! I have rough translations of those from Google but they're all in a horrible grammar, so thank you!! Cheesy

Indeed~ she's a very sweet girl like her sisters. All of them are very loving and good-hearted. One will never find any reason to dislike them.

My dear darling Papa!
I have just returned from Anichkov and Nkolai Pavlovich was there. This afternoon, Anastasia and I were in the lazaret. The last train which arrived was Schulenburg. Sadly, I have to finish now, as it is morning and we have classes. I kiss you firmly and love you, my darling papa. Send my regards to Sasha and Nilov.
Always your daughter,
Marie
I’m sorry for this dull and short letter.

[At the same letter, Tatiana writes a short letter as a postscript.]

My dear darling papa, I’m sorry that I’m not writing to you in a separate paper as I absolutely have no time. We are going to the hospital as there will be an operation today. The weather is clear and sunny but cold. We are waiting for you to be back as quickly as possible.
I went to my committee safely yesterday, thank God. Well for now goodbye. I embrace you fondly as much as I like. God bless you.
Your daughter Voznesenets

LISTED by date Marie letters!? ( swoon)

I have a database listing all the dates of OTMA's letters/diary entries in Royal Sisters of Mercy, and another of the letters in Tsarskie Deti and Divnyi Svet. You can easily sort them by name or date. If you'd like either of them PM me with your email address.

Ok let's start!

20th September 1914

My sweet, darling Papa!

I'm writing You downstairs, at Mama's. Here are Mafija and Dmitrij, seated, who had lunch with us. We went to the Vespers, and I prayed so much for You. Batjuška [Father Vasilev] made the most of Your absence and after Vespers had a speech. During Vespers it was so dull, because You weren't there. I kiss you tight and +
Sleep well and have sweet dreams.
Your Marija who loves You


NOTES: Capital letter for "you" referring to Nicholas is  in the original. Also "Papa" and "Mama" have capital letters. Please not that, even with capital letters, in Russian  marija  does not use the formal form "Vy" (english= You) but the colloquial, informal ty (=thou in old english). This is interesting.
            I think Mafija could be Maria Pav young. but am not sure. There wasn't no explanation.

Translation in mine, and i'm sorry if my english is not the best.
