TROTSKY, Leon Davidovich (1879–1940). Autograph letter signed “L.

I recall that I did not thank you for your offer, which was an expression of your tireless kindness toward me. You are truly admirable, and my heart is full of gratitude.

Allow me to insist once more: try to write; it will do you a world of good. If I can be of any help to you in your work, I’d be very happy to do so.
