Herrn Ulianow. 4. Gesellschaftsstra.e. 4. Switzerland. Bern. Schweiz.

I must stay here for about a month, as my wife will be undergoing an operation. Money is extremely needed.

I hope in a few days to arrange collaboration with *Pravda* from here as well.

Concerning my article against Bogdanov, I am very surprised that the editorial board evades the substance of the matter: Bogdanov deceived her, and through her 40,000 readers! Surely we cannot reconcile ourselves with this?? I agree to strike out the word "Mister," leaving simply "Bogdanov" 234. I think you will be satisfied with this.

Greetings! V. Ilin
