Her Excellency Maria Alexandrovna Ulyanova,

Moskovskaya Street, Vologda,
Russia
June 8
Dear Maria Alexandrovna,
Many kisses for you and Manyasha. I received Manya’s postcard and short letter and replied to them the same day.
It is pouring with rain from morning to night here, for a whole week I have been unable to step outside except In raincoat and galoshes.
[A corner of the postcard has been torn off and the words in brackets have been filled in by the editor according to the sense—Editor] and because of her ill [ness and] the rain she is in a bad [mood].
[We are] travelling. I have made a [discovery]-Based ow’s disease gets a lot [better] from excursions into the mountains, but in such weather I cannot, of course, go anywhere. By the way, the disease has not made itself very much felt this year. That is all. Again I embrace you.
