Moscow,

Russia

February 27, 1901

I have received Manyasha’s letter of February 2, 1901, Mother dearest, and also the journal Promyshlenny Mir,[1] for which merci.

It does not seem worth while now sending the articles that have been returned from Nauchnoye Obozreniye,[2] better simply send them with Nadya.

How does one write to A.V. in Nikolsk? I wrote to him once in Harbin but have no idea whether my letter reached him or not. Please let me have his exact address (and, if you happen to write to him, give him mine), I should from time to time like to know something about him, at least.

Anya, it appears, has delayed her departure somewhat. She has probably written to you herself.

Excuse the brief letter. I have no time at the moment. In a few days I shall write more.

Best regards to all.

Many kisses for you,

Yours,

V. U.

  1. Promyshlenny Mir (Industrial World)—a weekly dealing with finance, economics, commerce, industry and technology, published in St. Petersburg from November 1899 to 1905.
  2. This probably refers to Lenin’s reviews of Kautsky’s book Bernstein and the Social-Democratic Programme. A Counter-critique and Prokopovich’s book The Working-Class Movement in the West, written at the end of 1899 and first published in 1928 in Lenin Miscellany VII (see Collected Works, Vol. 4, pp. 193–203 and 183–92).
