The letter:

Милой дорогой бабушке.
Я нарву Вам цветов к именинам, много пестрых, пахучих цветов: и шиповнику с нежным жасмином, и широких кленовых листов.

English translation (my own):

To my dear grandmama.
I will pick You flowers for [Your] names day, a lot of colorful, fragrant flowers: and rose hips with delicate jasmine, and wide maple leaves.


Above: Olga.
