  • Notes // Примечания: He had thrown himself into the Whangpoo River from the old Ningpo Wharf, having left a letter for a lady friend, which read: “To die is foolish and as purposeless as to live. I must say goodbye to you, the only one who was kind to me. I am writing after having just awakened from a drunken sleep, therefore my head and hands do not obey me. Do not refuse me a last request: when you write to my relatives in Vladivostok, please tell them it only looks as though I am dead, but do not tell them how I died.” The letter went on to mention the names of four girls.
