Rh Here in Posen I shall soon find work. There will be no more massacres, no more midnight searches, no more spying, no more spectres of imprisonment and exile. In this Prussian-Polish city, affairs are honestly administered. The Poles are discontented, but when were they ever otherwise? Here one breathes air untainted by scandal and intrigue. I should like to see Russia's filth swept clean by German brooms! Many times I have thought of what you said that night at Arminsk—'Russia's salvation must come from without.' Preach that text, my Roman; write it unceasingly; instil it into the teachings of your comrades abroad. When Russia's millions are liberated, your name will be among those called the pioneers of her freedom.

Often we speak of you, of the one who is by now your wife, of the Gospodin Houghton, and the Sudarynya. We salute you all with affection.
