From a letter of Tatiana Romanov to a friend:

Tobolsk. Former Governor’s H.[ouse]. 9 December, 1917… There are lots of foolish rumors out there in the newspapers kk. [?] You probably read them, but it is all nonsense. They even sent us a newspaper clipping, where it tells about my escape to America. . .! I hope you did not believe this? I wonder who is wasting time on these idiotic delusions. Probably many people, the workers who benefit the Motherland—right?…”
