2) There was a letter from the Petersburg Committee or rather about the P.C. It's working well. It's terribly pleasant.

3) A letter from one Central Committee member "resurrecting" himself in Siberia after a 2-year break (prison and exile with forced settlement).

So as not to forget. Do you know what's going on with Popov in Brussels? He hasn't answered me for 2-3 weeks (!!) on urgent and important letters. And I need him! Has he fallen ill? Or has his "history," love-story*, done something to him, driven him out of Brussels, etc.? If you know nothing, then please do this: wait two days; if in that time there's no other news from me, write to Brussels through other acquaintances of his and about him, so that I can be sure what the matter is. Something incredible and impossible!

If you know anything about him, write me at once.

Pressing your hand. Yours V. U.

P.S. Samoylov writes that he's a bit bored in Montreux. I keep worrying about where to find a good doctor to supervise him there (nervous illness). Doesn't Kamsky know?
