Title
Letter from Mikhail Shimkevich to Berthe Lipchitz
Date
18 January 1925
Description
Handwritten on the letterhead paper of 'International publishing house 'Red stadium' (address: Moscow, Herzen street 54). Mikhail writes that though the publishing house delays the transfer of his money, he is still inviting Berthe and especially their son Andrei to come in early spring 1925 and live with him in Russia. He is making plans to enlist Andrei to school in autumn, to travel to Crimea and to rent a dacha in summer.
