Dear, sweet Mimosa,[1]

I ask you very much to go away for treatment, do not postpone it. You must not miss the chance. When you return it will be easy to arrange a job for you. You absolutely must go.

The Beer plan is an excellent one. Try also to get SchlĂźter on Chartism (in German);[2] it appeared after Beer and corrected that opportunist. A very good booklet could be written about Beer and SchlĂźter. Drop me a line in reply.

“Party Congresses” is also a good subject (in addition to the minutes, various booklets[3] are needed, I do not even approximately remember which ones). If you do write, send me the draft and we can discuss it.

I embrace you very fondly.

V. Ul.

  1. ↑ Mimosa was one of the Party nicknames used by Lenin’s sister Maria Ulyanova.—Ed.
  2. ↑ Lenin recommended these books to his sister Maria because she intended writing a book on the British working-class movement.
  3. ↑ Lenin’s “Report” on the Stockholm Congress is in my possession quite by chance, and nothing else.... Too little!—Lenin
