Typed memoirs that chiefly concern the events of 1904-05 in St. Petersburg. The longest memoir (42 p.) is entitled "Aus den Erinnerungen eines Augenzeugen: Der Blutsonntag vom 9/22 Januar in St. Petersburg: Der Pope Gapon." Gerby, at the time a Social Democrat, became acquainted with Gapon while working in workers' groups in St. Petersburg. There is also a brief French summary of the German manuscript.
