Tsar Nicholas II, Grand Duchess Maria Nikolaevna, Anna Alexandrovna Vyrubova “Anya” and Grand Duchess Olga Nikolaevna in Bad Homburg, 1st September 1910.
“1st September. Wednesday. It was a gray day. At 10 ¼ went with Olga and Marie to Homburg. We got out near our church, met Anya and went for a walk through the streets. Soon obnoxious people started recognizing us, we couldn’t get into any store, and we came back earlier than we thought. After breakfast, a large bonfire was lit downstairs in the garden and potatoes were baked. Read. Anya had dinner with Alix.”
