Doporior*1 Leona[r]d.
I enclose the*2 first pages of the book "Near Tolstoi" by A. Goldenvaiser.- If only the new (never published before in Russian) material was translated it would make a book of at least 200 pages. Without selecting it could run into 400 pages.- I want you to read it as soon as you can and tell me if you like it, as I am afraid that some one else may use translate this book if the thing is protracted.
Personally I think that "Near Tolstoi" is a valuable book; I feel it also to be perfectly honest and written by a decent man.-
I shall also expect to hear from you with regard to the Rosanov book.
Yours | SSK*3(Signature)
