Willing to Speak in Copenhagen

Mr. Aage Faerge

Vice-president

Social Democratic Students

Copenhagen

Dear Sir:

I would be very willing to give the Danish student youth a lecture about the Russian Revolution, under the approximate title of “The Creation of the Soviet State.” Since I unfortunately do not speak Danish, I would give the lecture in German. Because you may perhaps have difficulties with the Danish administration regarding a visa for me, I consider it useful to make the following points in advance:

(a) My lecture would have a purely scientific character.

(b) I am willing to limit my stay in Denmark to a very few days and to devote my time only to the purpose of the lecture.

Since I will stay at a Central European health resort from about mid-September to mid-November, the second half of November can be considered for the lecture. About details we should be able to come to agreement later.

Respectfully,

Leon Trotsky
