1922

273. To HIS SISTER ANNA

Written at the end of 1922 · First published in 1957 in the magazine Yunost No. 1. Printed from the original. · page 549 · Translated by The Late George H. Hanna

Dear Anyuta,

This is what happened. The book, it seems, is from the Socialist Academy, and it is forbidden to take books home from there.

They made an exception for me!

It created an awkward situation—my fault, of course. Now you must take the greatest care that Gora reads the book quickly at home and returns it.

If necessary I can arrange for it to be sought in another place—so that the book will become my property.

Yours,
V. U.
