Letter to Maria Ilyinichna Ulyanova, February 12, 1901

Dear Manyasha,
Many thanks for the cuttings. I read them with great interest. I have just received a notice from the post office about the arrival of a parcel. I suspect it is the Kautsky manuscript; if it is, I will send it to you tomorrow for certain. It is a great pity that there has been such a delay. Do you know whether Essays and Studies is obtainable? People are begging me to get a copy, they write that it is not on sale anywhere.
Just a month left. Wonderful, isn’t it? The time will come when there is just one day left! Yes, everything will come!
There is something I almost forgot. Mother has a big request to make of you. She would like you to insure a lottery ticket she has, serial number 7328; this has to be done before March 1 and it cannot be done in UI a because if the ticket wins it will become known here only in April and she would have to come back to Ufa-in short, it would not be worth her while. Keep the receipt yourself. The insurance will cost about three rubles, Mother wanted to send the money now, but I managed to convince her that it would do when she sees you. That’s that.
Are we really going to miss Anya? I want very much to see her. Write and tell me when she thinks of coming. I shall have another journey to make, to Astrakhan, and I do not know whether I should go to Moscow before or after-1 am thinking of making it dependent on when Anya will come.
Well, good-bye for the time being. This week there have been such crowds of people here that I am awfully glad the holidays are over.
Many kisses for you and Maria Alexandrovna, and I embrace you both. Mother sends regards.
Hoping to see you soon.
Yours,
Nadya
Has Filippov sent you pity sort of an answer? The blockhead!
