This article describes parts of extensive correspondence between Jaroslaw Iwaszkiewicz and his wife, Anna, exchanged from 1922 to 1926. The letters present the initial period of their marriage and log Iwaszkiewicz’s musical, literary and philosophical interests inspired by Russian culture (S. Prokofiev, A. Scriabin, N. Nabokov, I. Stravinsky, F. Dostoyevsky, A. Pushkin, I. Turgenev, N. Berdyaev and others) and connections with Russian émigrés, whom the poet met in both Warsaw (e.g. A. Wertynsky) and Paris (e.g. N. Nabokov). There are also memoirs concerning acquaintances made in Elizavetgrad and Kiev.
