Cold, sun

The weather was quite good this morning, and I have not been out for a long time, so I went out with Jingchen, Jibang and Chengyong to the Neskuchny Garden then returned. Because my leg ailment has only just recovered, I dare not walk too much.

The so-called Mongolian People’s Republic Prime Minister, Choibalsan, arrived at Moscow on the fourteenth of this month. During previous visits he has made clear his purpose but this time not. I cabled the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to report.
