Thanks for the newspapers. Within the next few days I shall send you_Iskra_ No. 2—also strictly in secret.

Could you make an inquiry at the_Nakanune_[2] office. A sum of money and three postage stamps were sent there (in the name of Dr. K. Lehmann) as far back as_October_31 to pay for the mailing of the paper. But not a word has been heard from them since then!

Please send me a copy of the protest against the drafting of students for military service. It would be interesting to compare it with the article on the subject in Iskra No. 2.[1]

Alexei promises to come soon.

Yours,
Petrov

Excuse the brevity of this letter: I’ve a heap of petty things to attend to.
