To:   V. D. BONCH-BRUYEVICH

Dear V. D., I received a letter from you some time ago but unfortunately I could
not obtain any idea from it concerning the matter of the remittance we are
interested in. I have heard you are very displeased about something. What?
How? Why? Have things been settled? I don’t know anything. It

Is very, very depressing. And we must make utmost haste, for the
hostile elements are threatening us from the rear. We have done what we
could here to secure what was lacking. A benefactor turned up. We are
sending it. Please see to it that we are not left without information. You
must let us know at least once a week about the receipt of remittances,
etc. For all we hear now are some rumours about dissatisfaction, and
nothing else. Some people seem to have invented some sort of distinction
between liquidationism and the liquidators. What sophistry! We want neither
the one nor the other. But of course you yourselves will give them a
rebuff. Greetings to V. M. My wife sends you her very best regards.

Starik
