Dear M. N.,

I agree to your proposals. I am terribly depressed, though, at the thought of the end being cut. Couldn’t the end in that case be printed in the journal without alteration? And with a note from the editors to the effect that these are deductions and conclusions from the pamphlet? It would be a great pity to fragmentise it!! A great pity!! If you can do something, I shall be very much obliged. I shall write about this myself, but my letter takes a long time and won’t get there before several months, if it gets there at all.

My best regards,

Yours,

Ulyanov

P.S. I heard say that Potresov has joined the staff of the publishing house!! And the famous novelist[1] has agreed!! What a shame, what a crying shame, eh?
