Also included are several newspaper articles (clipped), one dated November 1, 1918 stating how she was "Put to Death by the Bolsheviki" with a portrait. 2 others written before she was executed but no date found, assumed 1917 or 1918. One is still glued along the bottom edge to the front fep, the other photo has a paperclip rust ghost along the top edge where it was clipped to the rear fep. clip and ghost mark remain in evidence to the rear fep. ALSO. a photo post card dated 1917 showing a building in Moscow riddled with bullet holes, and a ststement on the back attesting to its authenticity in the same hand and name as on one of the photos. (Jerome ?) A truely remarkable collection of fairly unique items.
