Yelizarov’s Apartment,

Saratov,

Russia

Mother dearest,

I am writing from Lucerne. I came to Switzerland quite unexpectedly (on account of the meeting of the International Socialist Bureau in Zürich).[1] I am travelling round lec- turing.[2] Yesterday I went out climbing on the Pilatus— nearly 7,000 feet. The weather is wonderful so far and I am having an excellent holiday. I embrace you fondly and send very best regards to everyone.

Yours,

V. U.
