Tatka!

On August 28 I sent you a letter to the address: "Kremlin, N.S. Alliluyeva." Sent by airmail. Did you receive it? How was your trip, how are things with the Industrial Academy, what is new — write to me.

I have already managed to take two baths. I plan to take about 10 baths. The weather is fine. I am only now beginning to feel the enormous difference between Nalchik and Sochi, in favor of Sochi. I intend to seriously recover my health.

Write something about the children.

Kisses. Your Joseph.
