Quoting from the letter, Nikolsky contrasted Weber, whose 'nai*ve worker's head' he called 'foggy', with the judgment of a foreign Esperantist visiting the Soviet Union; according to the latter, 'the very air in the country of the Soviets is filled with freedom and with the joy that comes from creative work; in a smoky district of a Soviet city it is easier to breathe than in any seaside resort in any capitalist country'. Nikolsky named the assertion of the existence of a state Esperanto office 'a senseless offence to all Soviet Esperantists'.

In reaction to the assertion about a state censorship office, it concluded with the following emotional declaration: 'Esperantists of the Soviet Union, members of SAT and of SEU, write to their class brothers abroad only truth, as dictated to them by their class honor, their worker's heart.'
