Dear G. L.!

I do not know if you are in Bern. Please drop me a line immediately upon receiving this letter.

1) I have a request for you: I need to send a manuscript for binding: 100 sheets (not pages, but sheets) exactly like this one (to the same place where Grigory sent it).

Please order two books of suitable format: in 5-6 days you will receive the manuscript. I am in a terrible hurry with the dispatch (my copy has disappeared!!) and therefore very much ask you to hurry, and if you cannot, then reply as soon as possible, so that I might look for someone else to do it.

2) Why are you silent about my papers? If nothing is coming of it with you (or you find it inconvenient), drop me a line, without ceremony. It is not worth making a lot of bother about it!
