A letter from Alexandra to Alexei, regarding his sisters
"...Be careful with Igor and don’t say too much about your sisters - he’s foolish and a chatterbox - even if he is a good boy..."
-- Tsarskoe Selo, 3rd June 1916 [Old Style]
This extract is very interesting to me, as it shows that Alix was very conscious of people's curiosity about OTMA and wanted to protect them from potential gossip. It also shows that she was quite guarded - although Igor was part of the family, and a 'good boy', as she says, - it was still considered unwise to divulge private information.
