Fragment of an autograph letter signed from Olga Skadowsky to Anna Brodsky

Olga's stock of wood is not yet exhausted. The sea is frozen as far as the eye can see and there have been vast falls of snow this year. Olga is well, especially when she remembers to eat little as recommended by Stooss. The cupola of the cathedral has a great crevice inside. Concerts are organised on Sundays to pay for the repair work. There is fine singing of Tchaikovsky. Olga continues to give lessons. The letter is written in French.
