'I will not discuss how surprised I am at your attitude towards me': a furious letter to the publisher of his periodical, Beseda.

I am sending a letter to V.F. Khodasevich which was requested to be published in Beseda.

I am asking you to advance me money against the fee for my 'Book about Blok' and all five chldren's books.

M.I. [i.e. Moura Budberg] said that I received not a single letter from you over the entire summer. You replied that letters had been sent to me and that you had copies of them. Since I am still awaiting the reply to questions I asked you, perhaps you will send me the copies of your letters.

I will not discuss how surprised I am at your attitude towards me.

S.G. Kaplun (1891-1940) was a journalist and publisher, the owner of the Berlin publishing house 'Epoch' and from 1922 to 1925 the publisher of Gorky's literary and scientific journal Beseda.
