23. XII. 01.

Dear P. B.!

I sent a letter not by registered mail to your address about two weeks ago**. If at all possible, file a claim at the post office, even just with an enclosure of an envelope in my handwriting, if that might be useful.

Of course, it would be better for G. V. to stop by on the return journey. I have already sent him money for the road.

You received *Zarya*, of course?

Would you be able now to review my pamphlet (book?) against the Economists?

If yes, I will send you half of it in the next few days or at the beginning of that week, as I would like to consult with you about it. Drop me a line.

Until we meet soon.

Your Frey
