Grand Duchess Elizabeth Feodorovna / Re: Ella and Sergei 2

Yes, some letters are in the last book, but not all. In the 4 Volume there are no GDss Elizaveta's letters.

Thank You so much for this information. As I have to order these books from abroad, it is always a bit of a gamble not knowing what you'll get without being able to look through the book before buying. So I guess I'll keep looking for the book you mentioned.
I found GD Sergei's correspondence in Volume 3 most interesting, especially with GD Paul and GD Konstantin, therefore I'm really looking forward to seeing the tone of GDss Elizabeth's letters.

Would anyone know where one could find GD Elizabeth's letters to GD Serge? As I understand they were written in English? I would love to read them in original, but if not, then Russian is OK, too. I have recently ordered part 4 of GD Serge's biography, but I'm not sure if all the letters are in there.

The letters were published in Russian in 2011, the book is out of stock now.

Thank You very much for the information. I'll keep looking for this book, perhaps it'll pop up somewhere.
Maybe you know if any of GD Elizabeth's letters to her husband were published in the 4 volume Russian biography of GD Sergei? I'm currently waiting for volume 4 to arrive.

ETA: As I understand, at least some (don't know if all) of those letters can be found in this book as well:

Prince Ioann discussed the assasination of GD Sergei in the letters with his father and sister Tatiana. The correspondence has been published recently in Russian in a serie of books on the family of GD Konstantin K.  The book on Ioann's correspondebce is :

Thank You very much for the link, I have been considering buying some of the books of the Konstantinovichi series for some time now and seems that it's about time. I have already found his letters to his father and mother around the time, and I know that he mentioned there that he wrote in detail about how he found out about the assassination to his sister Tatiana.

Starting my journey on this forum by trying to revive an ancient thread. Anyway, my question is whether there are any letters to and by Prince Ioann regarding the assassination of his Uncle GD Serge Alexandrovich in 1905? I know I have read letters on the subject exchanged between K.R. and his son Prince Gavriil, and, if I remember correctly (I can't find the letters anymore), there was a reference to a letter to Prince Ioann as well.

ETA: Or, if there are any other references to GD Serge Alexandrovich, it would be very interesting to find out.
