Dear colleagues! I urgently need No. 8 of Pravda. You wrote that you do not have it. Please insert the following announcement in Pravda – for safety’s sake I am not writing No. 8, but Nos. 5-10.

That is what is done. I earnestly request this.

Yours, V. Ilyin

How is Olminsky? Is it true that he is ill?

The Editorial Board and Administration of Pravda earnestly request readers to supply it with one copy of Nos. 5-10 (Nos. 5-10) of Pravda. Needed for a complete set.

1912.
