Dear Friend!
Please write to me and let me know how you are doing. Times are grim:
measles, influenza, Spanish flu, cholera.
I’ve just gotten up and haven’t left the house. Nadya has a temperature of 39°C and has asked me to visit you.
What’s your temperature?
Do you need anything for treatment? I earnestly request that you write to me openly.
Get well soon!
Yours, Lenin
