Dear Radek,

Thanks for the bulletin.[1]

We shall discuss the money question with Grigory. We’re hard up just now!

But the most important thing is: why are you silent about our (your final) draft resolution[2]? I must have it at once (and our statement on the voting for the manifesto)!

You should have a copy! Why don’t you send it to me?

Or Grimm? Can he really be refusing to let you make a copy? Please reply.

Grimm’s “loyalty” is only so much talk. He has deliberately failed to mention Borchardt—it’s a disgrace.[3]

Regards,

Yours,

Lenin
