Maria Alexandrovna Ulyanova,

Sharonov’s House,

Bakhmetyevskaya Street, 25,

Moscow,

Russia

October 3, 1900

I have received, Mother dearest, Manyasha’s letter of September 8 which was delayed when forwarded to me from Paris. I was very glad to learn that Mitya’s affairs are being settled, and that he will probably be allowed to enter Yuriev University.[1] It would be fine if he could get everything settled soon! What is happening to Manyasha’s case? She doesn’t write about it. How are you? Are you comfortable? I am now quite well, I got over my influenza long ago and am working more regularly. We are having excellent weather here—and you? I have also received the books from Manyasha (Bulletin officiel), thanks for them. I am expecting the box and money to arrive soon.

I embrace you fondly, my dear, and send regards to all.

Yours,

V. U.
