Content

Contents Summary
The letter describes prison conditions and tells about the refusal of prison officials to permit the marriage between A. Ginzburg's and I. Zholkovskaia led to hunger strike by sympathetic fellow prisoners, and as a result Ginzburg was finally given right to marry.
Письмо описывает тюремные условия и сообщает, что запрет тюремных властей на оформление брака между А. Гинзбургом и И. Жолковской спровоцировал голодовку сочувствующих им заключенных, и в результате Гинзбург получил разрешение жениться.
