Description
On the first page there is a list of clothing items.
On the top of two first pages there is a writing in blue pen 'J'ai faim' (I am hungry). There are several sketches in pencil.
Contains two draft letters, one note on a telegram from Petrograd, and dated (only day, no month or year) entries for '19' to '29'.Saint-Peterbourg was renamed 'Petrograd' in 1914, and became 'Leningrad' in 1924, though Lipchitz could continue to name it in the older style. Most probably, the whole diary is dated by the time of WWI.
