Dear Manyasha,

I am writing this in Pornic^[1] . I have been living here almost a week with Y.V. and Nadya. We are having an excellent holiday. We go bathing, etc. How are you getting on? Is Mother keeping well? How does the question of Copenhagen and Stockholm stand?^[2] Write to Pornic (Loire Inférieure). Rue Mon Désir. K. Les Roses. Mr. Oulianoff.

Regards to all,
Yours,
V. U.

I wrote to Mother in Mikhnevo a week ago from Paris. Did she get the letter?
