Fedorova's daughter Irine is mentioned by her pet name Rena. The letter is written seven years after Fedorova-Fokine has been fired from Riga's National Opera because of nationalistic tendencies in Latvia at that time. According to Irine Fokine it happened after her father's death, in 1936. So the letter could be dated as from 1943 or 1944 Postcard to Michel Fokine requesting permission to stage his Carnival, no date, unsigned."}
