To:   P. B. AXELROD

18.IV. 02

Dear P. B., I take this opportunity to write a couple of words to you:
the letters for B. N —ch just received should be passed on to him as soon
as possible. If he is not there, please forward them to him.

If Berg is there, ask him to write me a few words about his plans: when
and where he is going, and for how many days. And the main thing: did he
receive the two letters I posted to him on Saturday morning (the 12th)?

We are busy getting settled—there is plenty to do. In the meantime
write to Alexeyev’s address—I shall get it at once (Mr. Alexejeff. 14. Frederick Str. 14. Gray’s Inn Road. London W. C.). You
got my letter from Cologne, didn’t you? [1]

And what about your article?

Best regards, Yours....
