28th February 1935

Dear Mr. Low,

Thank you so much for your letter.
My husband and I quite understand.
Please do not worry about it. I myself
quite enjoyed it. It is often very
interesting and amusing to get such an
insight into the minds of others and
gives me ideas, just as it probably helps
you sometimes with your cartoons.

We shall be delighted to come and
see you both again in the summer and we
are also looking forward to the time when
Mrs. Low will be well enough to pay us a
visit. We both wish her the speediest
possible return to complete good health.

Yours sincerely,

Mr. David Low

My dear Low,

My wife and I are arranging a dinner party on the 18th December at 7.30 p.m. in honour of Lord Passfield and Mrs. Webb, to celebrate the publication of their new book "Soviet Communism: A New Civilisation?"

It would give us great pleasure if you and your wife could join us and we shall look forward to hearing that the date is suitable to you.

Yours sincerely,
J. Maisky

Dear Monsieur Maisky,

I was away when your letter arrived and
on my return caught influenza, so my reply
has been delayed. I offer my apologies.

My reply to the Society for Cultural
Relations in Moscow is enclosed and I am
sending you in a few days a parcel which
I hope you will be good enough to forward to
Moscow at your convenience.

My wife and I send our kindest regards
to Madame and yourself.

Yours sincerely,

My dear Low,

Thank you for your letter to Efimov,
which I shall be happy to forward at the
first opportunity. You will, of course,
realise that in the present circumstances
this will take some time.

I haven't seen you for a long time
and I hope that before long we may have
the possibility of meeting for a chat.

I hope that you and your wife will be able to

such a long time, and it will be a pleasure to see
you again.

Mr. David Low.
