Description
Handwritten on four narrow slips of paper, the back sides of numbered printed blank receipts issued by the Publishing house of the red sport internationale 'Proletarian sport' (address: Moscow, Herzen street 54). Shimkevitch's adress in the end of his letter is 'N[izhny] Kislovsky 8, flat 21'. Mikhail tells news about Andrei Shimkevitch. His wife Nina, being pregnant, is leaving him and moving to Leningrad because it was a marriage of convenience for her. That Andrei himself will be released (from prison?) in a month and he will come to Moscow. Andrei needs money to buy clothes, but Mikhail's salary is very small. He asks Berthe to help Andrei with some clothes though he knows that they (probably Berthe and Jacques Lipchitz) refused to help Andrei with money.
