Unfortunate oversight in 'Russian Short Stories from Pushkin to Buida'

[Jane Costlow]

To Robert and colleagues -

This is enormously gracious on your part, Robert. It is a wonderful 
story - and I'm grateful, as always, for your yeoman's labors in 
bringing a broader range of brilliant Russian writing to the general 
public. We are all the richer for it.

Thanks for your integrity here - I really had quite forgotten about it!
