In you alone I have faith. May God bring you back to us very soon. Alexis is asking for you daily. We are due to go to Yalta, but shall not move before we meet here. I embrace you, and so do Nikki and Anna. Your devoted daughter, ALIX."
In that Russia n town of Yalta I danced an astonishing sort of dance an hour long, and one I had not heard of before, with a very pretty girl, and we talked incessantly, and laughed exhaustingly, and neither one ever knew what the other was driving at. But it was splendid. There were twenty people in the set, and the dance was very lively and complicated.
Besides, the provinces age a man early. Korolenko, Potapenko, Mamin, Ertel, are first-rate men; you would perhaps at first feel their company rather boring, but in a year or two you would grow used to them and appreciate them as they deserve, and their society would more than repay you for the disagreeableness and inconvenience of life in the capital.... YALTA, January 3, 1899.
I think you will be very much pleased with it. Veresaev is a doctor; I have got to know him lately. He makes a very good impression.... YALTA, July 12, 1903. ... I have been thinking over your letter for a long time, and alluring as your suggestion or offer is, yet in the end I must answer it as neither you nor I would wish.
One evening, coming out of the doctors' club with an official with whom he had been playing cards, he could not resist saying: "If only you knew what a fascinating woman I made the acquaintance of in Yalta!" The official got into his sledge and was driving away, but turned suddenly and shouted: "Dmitri Dmitritch!" "What?" "You were right this evening: the sturgeon was a bit too strong!"
As it is, everything seems shaken up together in the three volumes; there are no weak things, but it leaves an impression as though the three volumes were not the work of one author but of seven. Scribble me a line or two. YALTA, January 2, 1900. My greetings, dear actress! Are you angry that I haven't written for so long?
Good-bye for the present. We shall most likely not meet before April. If you would all come in the spring to Yalta, would act here and rest that would be wonderfully artistic. A visitor will take this letter and drop it into the post-box.... P.S. Dear actress, write for the sake of all that's holy, I am so dull and depressed. I might be in prison and I rage and rage.... YALTA, November 1, 1899.
They have no religious ladies, that element which makes religion shallow as the sand does the Volga. You do well to print the martyrology of Russian towns avoided by the extortionate railway contractors. Thanks for your letter, thanks for your indulgence. YALTA, January 18, 1900. Thank you for your letter.
The commune exists by husbandry, but once husbandry begins to pass into scientific agriculture the commune begins to crack at every seam, as the commune and culture are not compatible ideas. Our national drunkenness and profound ignorance are, by the way, sins of the commune system.... YALTA, February 6, 1899.
Long before our enemies surrendered, the foundations had been laid on which to continue this unity in the peace to come. The Atlantic meeting in 1941 and the conferences at Casablanca, Quebec, Moscow, Cairo, Tehran, and Dumbarton Oaks each added a stone to the structure. Early in 1945, at Yalta, the three major powers broadened and solidified this base of understanding.
