To:   HIS MOTHER

May 17, 1898

This week, Mother dearest, I received Manyasha’s letter
of May 1.

I have not yet received my books but I hope to get them
soon. Nadezhda Konstantinovna made detailed arrangements for them in Minusinsk.

It is probably not worth while subscribing to a newspaper; I hope to get Syn Otechestva from Tesinskoye.

The weather here is still foul—wind and rain. Spring just can’t settle down.

Yours,

V. U.

Regards to all. Have I got the address right?
