Dear M. N.,
I received both your postcards. Thanks very much. The terribly sad news about the loss of the MS. has compelled the author of the work written in the Plekhanov vein to resort to the G. Z. method[1] (ah, those Germans! It’s they who are to blame for the loss! I wish the French beat them!).
The author hopes you will try to save the five sheets, otherwise it will be a loss of time, labour and oneness, and a good deal more. Sincere regards.
Yours,
Lenin
