My dear Friend, 

Could you let me have Ignatiyev’s Christian name, ditto a few 
details about his family and the man himself. As regards his 
political exploits, I am pretty well informed about them. 

There has been a fine old mercantile and financial collapse in 
Moscow. 

Yours ever,

My dear Friend, 

My best thanks for the note which I received yesterday evening. 
You have no idea of the pusillanimity and shilly-shallying of the 
‘free’ English press. That is the only reason why I am not yet ina 
position to let you have definite news about the fate of your 
article.2™ 

Yours ever, 

K. M.
