Location of Empress Alexandra Fedorovna's English letters to Countess Anastasia Hendrikova?

Dear APF members, your help is needed.

Are are any of you familiar with this book?
Письма Императрицы Александры Федоровны к графине Анастасии Васильевне Гендриковой за 1912-1918 гг. Редактор-составитель К.В.П. М. 2001. С. 42.

(We just found out about it -- thirteen years later!)

The thing is this:
We have these letters, but they are translated back into English from the Russian translation in Sokolov's papers from the investigation in 1918.

(The Empress wrote to Hendrikova in English.)

Obviously, we would prefer to have the original English texts of these letters.

The original volumes of Sokolov's investigation contained the original English letters, accompanied by a Russian translation.
All other copies of the Sokolov investigation contain only the Russian translation of these letters.

Despite two trips to GARF and letters to the other Moscow archives involved, we have not been able to determine where/if the original volume is located.
(There are now several copies of the Sokolov investigation in various institutions in Moscow.)

We were hoping that this book is based on the original English texts, and that it might indicate where that volume is now found.

Any assistance for advice would be most appreciated.

God bless,
Inok Nikolai

I will write to my Russian contacts and see if they know anything about this book and whether it says where the originals are kept!
