Midnight, December 14, 1900
Dear P. B.,
Forgive me for having disturbed you unnecessarily with my telegram. Not having received the article in the morning, I inferred (after your telegram of yesterday) that something had happened, and decided to inquire by telegram, in particular under the influence of a desperate letter from the printers. And then your article arrived a few hours later! I hasten to inform you without delay of its arrival, as you asked, and, once again, please excuse the telegram. I am very, very glad that we shall soon see each other; my “brother” will, I think, also arrive in a few days, and Alexei too, possibly, in 2 or 3 weeks’ time.
There is still no article from Paris on the International Congress—I have sent a telegram today.
I may have to go away for a short time before the paper appears, in order to sort out various small items (we are badly out in thousands of letters, and are now throwing out a good deal!), but this will take 3 or 4 days, no more.
Let me know whether I should take a room for you, or just have a preliminary look for one. I will ask V. I. about your requirements, and will begin my search.
Forgive the brevity—I am very tired and in a hurry.
Very best regards,
Yours,
Petroff
