Dear Georgy!

I know nothing about the conference.235 Decide for yourselves.

N. K.'s treatment is dragging on, and I shall remain here for another two weeks or possibly longer. I don't know for certain.

The Ukrainian's article is very good.236 The main thing is that he is a centralist. This is so rare and so valuable, given our wretched times, that you and Yuri must absolutely get to know him better and have a proper meeting, get to know the man.

What the article needs is not so much corrections of style (that's a trifle) as explanations from the author.

He must write another article. I am writing about this on the next page.*;
