Unidad documental simple 147 - Letter from Maria Germanova to R. C. Trevelyan

5 rue Denfort Rochereau, Boulogne S[ur]/S[eine]. - Is very 'touched and grateful' for the attention Bob has given to his book; is lucky that the [English] translation will be reviewed by Bob; begs him to be totally objective. Left the clinic [in Zurich] three weeks after her operation, stayed with Andrusha and his wife at their flat for a week, then travelled back to Paris. This was very tiring, but she wanted to get back to her husband and Rex [the dog], and did not want to tire Bev who was still suffering from jaundice. Aleksandr Petrovitch did not look well, after the worry about her operation, and living alone far from the rest of the family. She is still 'very weak', but feels much better than before the operation; hopes to be herself again in a few more weeks. Has had a letter from Bessie; asks Bob to 'kiss her' for her; she will reply soon. Is very sad she cannot go to Osny yet, since the weather is so 'tempting to go "ins Grüne"'.
