Dear Manyasha,
Many thanks for the photographs[1] and the letter. At long last! How are you feeling now?
I am not surprised that you have chosen the north,[3] I would probably have done the same myself. I hope that they will not send you too far away—there are some nasty places there. Please write as soon as you arrive.
We have been having a lot of trouble during the past few days and so I could not answer you immediately.
This place is full of rumours of war, as, by the way, you can see from the papers. If there is a war I shall probably have to move to Vienna (or to that town where I last saw you).[2] But I do not believe there will be a war.
I kiss you fondly, my dear. So do Y.V. and Nadya.
Yours,
V. Ulyanov
P. S. Write and tell me whether you will be receiving Neue Zeit.
