We are—just as I am personally—very well disposed to the Russian emigration which fact 1 beg you to mark specially. I have heard much about Ataman Semen-off og an energetic and active promoter, Two or three months ago I personally met him and we had long talk about many questions. Then I got acquainted with Gen. eral Horvath who made on me the very best impression. I discussed with him different questions and he informed me very fully about the situation of the Russian emigration, To speak frankly, during one of our conversations with General Horvath I gave him the advice to start the work. I recommended to him to get in touch with the Grand Duke Nicolas of Russia with a view to get from him the necessary authority, and then to use every effort for the unification of the Rassian emigration under his own leader-and then with the indispensable documents from the Grand Duke and from the refugees, to. start working. More than that, T indicated to him also the necessary ways and means for it.
