To:   HIS MOTHER

Maria Alexandrovna Ulyanova, Sharonov’s House, Bakhmetyevskaya Street, 25, Moscow, Russia

October 3, 1900

I have received, Mother dearest, Manyasha’s letter of
September 8 which was delayed when forwarded to me from
Paris. I was very glad to learn that Mitya’s affairs are
being settled, and that he will probably be allowed to enter Yuriev
University. [1] It would be fine if he could get everything settled soon! What is happening to
Manyasha’s case? She doesn’t write about it. How are you?
Are you comfortable? I am now quite well, I got over my
influenza long ago and am working more regularly. We are
having excellent weather here—and you? I have also received the books from Manyasha ( Bulletin officiel ), thanks
for them. I am expecting the box and money to arrive soon.

I embrace you fondly, my dear, and send regards to all.

Yours,

V. U.
