of the Russian Nobility Association
Dear Prince Andrei Sergeevich!
I send my heartfelt congratulations to You on the occasion of Your 80-th birthday. I wish You many year of life, health, strength, and God’s help in Your labors.
I note with pleasure that, during Your leadership, the Russian Nobility Association has passed through a very trying time yet has to a significant degree increased its social importance. This is undoubtedly on account of Your faithful service to Your compatriots and to Your ancestors. In You, the Russian Nobility Association is a wonderful example of service to the Fatherland.
I send my heartfelt greetings and congratulations also to Your wife and to all your family and friends.
To you, ever gratefully,
H.I.H. Grand Duchess Maria Vladimirovna
