Dear P. B.!
Forgive me for troubling you needlessly with a telegram. Not receiving the article in the morning, I thought (after your telegram of yesterday) that something had happened, and decided to inquire by telegram, especially under the influence of a desperate letter from the printing-office. And your article arrived a few hours later! I hasten to inform you, at your request, immediately of its receipt and again apologise for the telegram.¹
I am very, very glad that we shall soon see each other; “Brother”² will also probably arrive in a day or two—and in two or three weeks, perhaps, Alexei [Martov] too.
From Paris there is still no article about the International Congress—I sent a telegram today.
I may have to go away³ for a time before the paper comes out, to dispose of various trifles (we have made a big miscalculation in thousands of letters and are now throwing out a lot!), but this will take only three or four days.
Write whether I should rent a room for you or only look at one beforehand.⁴ I will ask Vera Ivanovna [Zasulich] about your requirements and start looking.
Forgive the brevity—I am very tired and in a hurry.
A firm handshake.
Yours,
Petroff.
