Thomas Henry Barker,
Letter from T.H. Barker to his wife Mary
(1903)
“ I am going to see the Father, Paul Baron Hofer at St Petersburg. I have not yet had time to call on Mr Deakers (illegible text) , people are late in the morning here, & have a long break for lunch in the middle of the day, & daylight ends at four. I have bought four packages of post cards today. Moscow, St Petersburg, Russian peasants & Russian Military, from which you will get some notion of my surroundings. I hope to get away from St Petersburg on Saturday & should travel via Berlin, maybe there on Sunday. ”
