Title
Postcard from Mikhail Shimkevich to Berthe Lipchitz
Date
19 December 1934
Description
Mikhail writes that if Berthe does not transfer money, Andrei will have to return to the 'commune' (Bolshevo NKVD prison-commune near Moscow). Money should come every month, and not later than the 15th day. For now, since Mikhail does not have money, Berthe should ask 'L.M.' at 'Fr[ench].A.[mbassade]' to take Andrei at his place. That's because Andrei needs better food than mere potatoes but Mikhail has nothing more.
