Title
Letter from Mikhail Shimkevich to Berthe Lipchitz
Date
15 April 1935
Description
Mikhail accuses Berthe in ignoring he and his letter. He implies that this means ignoring the fate of their son Andrei and gives the recent news of him: his wife Nina is pregnant and he is going to work in the Bolshevo commune (half-prison for children) as a grinder, and to rent a room in Bolshevo.
