To:   HIS MOTHER

Maria Alexandrovna Ulyanova, Kedrova’s House, Podolsk, Moscow Gubernia

April 30, 1900

I have received your letter and Manya’s of the 25th, Mother
dearest. I shall probably get away from here earlier, in
something like a fortnight from now, but I cannot say anything at all definite.

I think I wrote telling you I had asked permission to spend six weeks in
Ufa. [2] I hope to receive an answer soon.

Nadya writes that her health is improving. She has not received Archiv from Anyuta. Here is something I should
like to ask Anyuta to do—can she get back that “Archiv” before I arrive and not send it to Nadya, because I now need
it (I could take it to Nadya myself) and the second copy
that I expected never reached me. I should very much like
to have it when I visit you.

Ask Manyasha to send me Nadya’s translation. [1]

I will send it to the journal.

Filippov writes that even from the article against
Skvortsov the censor has thrown out almost a third! That is really
too bad!

Many kisses for you and regards to all.

Yours,

V. U.
