Letter, 1 leaf, typed.
Writes to tell Lessing the life story of Nikolai and Elena Baranov, who share Lessing's birthday. Encloses a copy of the biographical sketch, 'A Family of our Time' (item 002) for Lessing to read. Writes that Lessing is under no obligation to do anything for them, but Nussbaum thought she would like to read it as they "have shown a level of courage, hope, endurance and humanity", believing that it might "fire the heart and the imagination" of Lessing.
