Boulogne S[ur]/S[eine]. - Will be very good to see Bob soon. The orthodox Christmas will be on January 7, and the next day is sacred to the Virgin Mary; she will go to church those two mornings if she is well enough, but will keep the afternoons for Bob. This is their first Christmas Eve alone: they 'cannot not celebrate it', though it is the 'European' feast day, and they feel 'lonely without the young ones [their son and his wife]'. Sending Christmas and New Year wishes to the Trevelyans.

Postcard also signed by A[leksandr] Kalitinsky.
