Dear Anton Pavlovich,
Your near-daily company is one of about three things I miss about my life in the theatre. (Mr. Shakespeare, and the musty, dusty smell of the backstage - in case you were wondering.)
I recently started re-reading your short stories and your letters and I think you will be pleased to hear that they sound good even translated into English.
Thank you for your beautiful prose, it helps me miss you and the theatre just a little bit less.
In profound respect, admiration and affection,
Most devoutely yours,
Irina Byronichka Enzovna Klein
