May 18, 1914

Dear Comrade Nazar, Many thanks to you for the bulletins of the 13th Census and for the
fifth volume of the 12th (1900) Census.

I have been expecting any day the same volume (Agriculture) of
the 13th Census (Census of 1910 ), but for some reason it does not
arrive. Probably the Statistical Bureau has sent it to you, because
Hourwich wrote to me that this volume had been published. Please drop me a
line whether you have this volume (Agriculture. Census of 19 10 ), whether you can get it and send it me. I will
immediately send you the cost of postage.

Please note my new address: Poronin (Galizien).

Congratulations on the splendid May Day in Russia:
250,000 in Petersburg alone!! Put Pravdy for May 1 has been
confiscated, but I have learned from Novy Mir [2] that you often get confiscated issues as well. Altogether
the news from Russia is evidence that revolutionary feelings are developing
not only among the working class.

On May 15 Sima is leaving Cracow (Zakłąd
Kąpielowy D-ra Kadena w Rabce . Galizien) for the summer
to take a post in a village between Cracow and Poronin; she is very glad to
have got this post.

N. K. sends her greetings. With all my heart I hope you will get better
and have a good rest in the summer.

Yours,
V. I.

P.S. We have lately had news from the organisation in the Urals: things
are not at all bad there. They’re alive and growing!
