Letter to Valentin Olberg, February 5, 1930

Comrade Valentin Olberg
Dear Comrade,
I have received your letter of January 28 with my article enclosed.
It would be very good if you would write an article about the Latvian Communist Party â its work, strength, the groupings within it, and so forth. It would be highly desirable if you gave at least some figures and some factual material in general because there is almost no information of this kind. We would gladly print your article in the Russian Biulleten. In addition it could appear in La VĂ©ritĂ© and other Opposition publications.
Do you have the latest issue of the Biulleten, devoted to the "third period" and French affairs?
The next issue will be devoted to the Soviet economy and to Stalin's latest course.
I know nothing about the Latvian publishing house Bereg [Shore]. I am inquiring about it through our Russian publisher in Berlin.
I hope that during your stay in Germany you will keep in contact with our German cothinkers. If for no other reason than your knowledge of Russian, you will be able to render them very valuable service.
