Autograph postcard signed ('Iv. Bunin') to the Odesskiy listok newspaper, Moscow, [postmarked 19 May 1917].

In Russian. One page, 90 x 140mm.

Asking for a copy of a published poem. Bunin asks Odesskiy listok to send him a copy of the issue in which his poem had been published, and provides his full address in Moscow.

Odesskiy listok (Odessa Leaf) was a popular liberal newspaper, published in Russian in the city of Odessa from 1880 to 1920, and one of the largest provincial Russian newspapers by circulation. Odessa was to be Bunin's home for 18 months from June 1918, a period which provided much of the material for Cursed Days.
