P. S. I am sending you a copy of our statement for America.56 We do not wish to distribute it here—at least we absolutely do not wish to distribute it until it appears in Russia in sufficient quantity (and we have not yet received word from Russia on this question). Therefore, at the present moment we thought to send the statement only to you and G. V., but if you find it necessary to send it to America without waiting for word from Russia—then, of course, send it there as well.

Your Petrov
