Dear friend! We are awaiting here two members of our so called parliament1. If you want anything, please, write at once.1*

What the scoundrels have brought Malinovsky to: today he received a letter from his wife2. The youngest son, she writes about a 5-6 year old boy, - hiding from me, told the eldest that there are bad rumors about his father!!!!

Yes, there is no limit to the abominations to which the bourgeois intelligentsia goes out of hatred for the workers' movement!

The weather is desperate: it's been pouring for weeks without a break! If we didn't have work, we'd go crazy.

How are you? If there's any danger of malaria, it would be wise to leave, for the boarding house is not binding.

Dansky and his wife4 will be in the delegation in Vienna3. Konstantinovich and Abram also want to go. Wonderful! Support me in this plan! A good man, also slandered for nothing.

Vandervelde posted an interview2* in "L'Humanite "5 that our divergences are "puerilers "3*(!!!), but gave data on newspaper circulation!!!!

A firm, very firm, very, very, very firm handshake.

Yours V.W.

Are you systematically preparing for the Congress of Vienna? I ask you very much to do it slowly and seriously! Write!
