Mother dearest,
How are you? What news is there, what does Mitya write from Yurievâhe is probably working hard now the examinations are drawing near.
I recently received some old manuscripts from Manyasha and the Vienna gifts.[1] A big merci for them.
The weather here is again turning wintry, i.e., there has been some snow. It is not cold, however, and the snow melts during the day.
I was at the opera a few days ago and heard La Juive with the greatest pleasure; I heard it once in Kazan (when Zakrzhevsky sang)âthat must be thirteen years ago, and some of the tunes have remained in my memory. The music and singing were good. I have also been to theatres (German) on a few occasions and sometimes understood something, the general idea, at any rate. Do you go to the Moscow theatres?
Anyuta wrote recently that her work will detain her for a while yet.
Are you thinking of applying for permission for Nadya to visit you, my dear, just for a few days? She would probably like that very much, but the metropolitan cities are usually forbiddenâafter Ufa,[2] she writes, they are the only prohibited places.
I should like Manyasha to drop me a line saying when she subscribes to magazines for me, so that I know when to ask for them at the post office.
I embrace you fondly, my dear, and send regards to all.
Yours,
V. U.
