To my deep regret, pressing duties prevent me from attending your conference. I extend to you my warmest greetings and offer my best wishes for success in your work—especially in the crucial task of preparing for the forthcoming First All‑Russian Non‑Party Congress of Women of the East, which, if properly organized and conducted, will undoubtedly play a monumental role in awakening the consciousness and fostering the organizational unity of women in the East.
