To:   THE EDITORS OF YUZHNY RABOCHY [1]

Once again we earnestly and insistently implore and beg
Zhenya [2] to write us more often and in greater detail, and in
particular, to be sure to acknowledge immediately by return of post, if
only by a few lines, receipt of our previous letters, and write about
Boris’s reply and about the plan as regards the “announcement”. We are
still waiting for that announcement—simply scandalous! And lastly: we
earnestly advise you to publish the announcement as soon as possible. If
Boris remains adamant, then do without him. Impatiently awaiting your
reply.
