Greetings, Mama dear!

How are you, how do you feel? There have been no letters from you for a long time — apparently you are offended at me, but what can I do, I am truly very busy.

I am sending you one hundred and fifty rubles — I could not manage more. If you need money, let me know how much I can, and I will send it. Greetings to friends and acquaintances.

Nadya sends regards.

Live many years.

Your

Soso.
