Dear Mikhail Nikolayevich,

Allow me to turn to you as the former editor of *The History of Russia*.[166] The secretary recently informed me that there are various plans regarding an article devoted to the history of the factory and mill industry. Although I have fully come to an agreement with him on all this, I should like to know your opinion: would it be convenient for me to take it on if Tugan-Baranovsky refuses?

Please send me a reply in a few words on receipt of this letter. Apart from the subject touched upon here, there are many others with which mutual acquaintances would like to approach you. But I am not sure whether the address is correct, or whether correspondence is convenient. I await detailed instructions on this.

I press your hand. V. Ulyanov
