To:   HIS SISTER MARIA

Maria Ilyinichna Ulyanova, Davydov’s House, Apt. 4, Bozheninsky Street, Devichye Polye, Moscow, Russia

January 12, 1910

Dear Manyasha, I have just received your letter and hasten to scribble an
answer because I am afraid I shall be busy for the next
few days. [1] I will try to get some information about the man
in German Switzerland. If this is needed in a hurry let me
know exactly when I must find him by, so that the organisers can begin looking for him themselves (in the event of
my not finding him).

I have received the statistics. A big merci !

Give Anyuta very best regards from me. Mark, too.

I embrace Mother fondly and hope she is well.

How are you? What is the winter like? It is warm here.
I have begun to pay more attention to the theatre; I have
seen Bourget’s new play La barricade . Reactionary but interesting.

All the best, Yours,

V. U.
