Happy Times in Moscow
January 20, 1895 Moscow
Dear Bohdan;
It has been a long time my friend to long since we have been in contact, and I assume full responsibility. I apologize for responding to your last letter, but it has been hectic around here for the past nine months or so with my wife being with child.

Coronation of the Czar
