A tribune to czar's Nicholas II second daughter Tatiana
" The second bright happy day in our family: at 10:40 in the morning the Lord blessed us with a daughter - Tatiana. Poor Alix suffered all night without shutting her eyes for a moment, and at 8 o'clock went downstairs to Amama's [Dowager Empress] bedroom. Thank God this time it all went quickly and safely, and I did not feel nervously exhausted. Towards one o'clock the little one was bathed and Yanyshev read some prayers. Mama arrived with Xenia; we lunched together. At 4 o'clock there was a Te Deum. Tatiana weighs 83/4 pounds and is 54 centimetres long. Our eldest is very funny with her. Read and wrote telegrams.."
~ Tsar Nikolai II's Diary, May 29
"The little one is such a darling, and looks just like her mother! Her mouth is tiny and very beautiful."
