Dear Friend!

Today we have arrived in Zurich. Excuse us: we could not (although we were in Vienna until Thursday) visit you again. The journey [went] well; in Innsbruck and Feldkirch identity papers are demanded. For entry into Switzerland passports are demanded: I was, nevertheless, admitted without a passport. Radomyslsky must think all this over properly. Best greetings from me and my wife to your wife and you.

Vl. Ulyanov
