There is still no word from Vlasov. We must be patient. There was a letter from Lindov: he agrees in principle to come in 1-2 months. That will work out perfectly. Orlovsky is not responding.

In exactly a month we shall all be assembled and then we shall see, but for now do recover properly and at least you — for heaven's sake — do not get nervous.

Today I received a letter from April 18 saying that my book is ready*. Finally! Its delay has been getting on my nerves more than anything. They promise to deliver it here by April 25-26 old style.

I shake your hand. Your Lenin (Switzerland)
