There are no foreign surveys. How are things going with the “Austrian” article? Will anything be sent from America?—from Switzerland? They say Danevich is ill. There is no one to ask to write about Germany—unless it be Parvus, who has promised (?) a foreign survey, but that is not the thing.

The fourth issue of *Iskra* is to contain an article on terror (by Alexei); we have: “Autocracy and the Zemstvo” (continued), “Autocracy and Finance” (by Parvus), some items for the social chronicle (there are additions about the demonstrations) and the working-class movement.

We think of bringing out No. 4 as a single sheet (No. 3 has swollen to two sheets, eight pages (seven pages are already ready), just like No. 1—and even then we had to issue part of it!). It is necessary to make every effort to speed up the publication of *Iskra*—to make it a monthly.

Good-bye! I firmly press your hand and send greetings to all your family. My wife joins me.

Yours, Petrov
P.S. Write to me care of Rittmeyer.

Not to forget: on the instructions of the elder sister I inform you that 250 francs have been received. An account of them is being printed in No. 3 of *Iskra* (“From America via Axelrod”). I am sending ten copies of *Zarya* via Stuttgart—send them to Ingerman, Mokriyevich, etc. The elder sister is writing an article for the Germans about the demonstrations.
