Dear A.,
I am sending you the Japsâ draft. Apparently we wonât get anywhere with them.
I answer briefly:
I absolutely reject what is crossed out.
I am prepared to make concessions
(1) in regard to 7 on the Editorial Board,
(2) 15% quota for the CC,
(3) place of publication,
if we agree on the rest, that is:
(1) 6th and 7th are co-opted by the Editorial Board of the CO,
(2) new name for the collection,
(3) agreement for one collection.
In regard to transport, etc., I trust you will make up an addendum to the agreement and insert it (they must definitely contribute towards transport, and this must definitely be inserted; without it, you canât work, and I would consider it the height of meanness if capitalists were to give âtheirâ money without ensuring the chief organiser a livelihood. This is the height of meanness! Iâll never agree to it!).
Nadya has answered your questions (I was away lecturing). I hope everything has been answered. If not, write and let me know!
Be more patient with the kulaks, donât worry more than you need. Itâs not worth it.
All the very best,
Yours,
Lenin
N.B. Please return this copy of the text of the agreement to me.
