Dear K.,
I have had your postcard, and hasten to reply. Wait a little: we shall let you know about what can and should be done regarding what you (and we) desire.[1] Donât forget, by the way, that legality here is now of a special kind: have you spoken about this with the friends at Lausanne? Be sure to have a talk with them.
We remain at Berne. The address is DonnerbĂźhlweg 11a. Uljanow.
As regards a lecture, I donât know yet. I shall have to think it over, and consult in greater detail. How many people could be counted on where you are?[2]
All the best. Greetings from all.
Yours,
Lenin
P.S. It might, perhaps, be better to give a talk about the critique and my anti-critique. Two words nevertheless: one cannot on formal grounds defend the scoundrelly chauvinism of the Germans. There were bad resolutions, there were some that were not bad; there were declarations of both types. But there is a limit to everything! And it has been overstepped. We cannot be patient, we cannot be diplomatic we must revolt against shameful chauvinism with all our strength!!
