Dear G. V.,

I forgot to ask you to do the following: please Look among your papers for a letter my wife sent you concerning the article “The Workers’ Party and the Peasantry”[1] (three or four close-written sheets of letter paper, without heading or signature).

You haven’t given your opinion as regards printing it in Zarya. I would like to remind you of it, so that you should not forget to send it to us without fail before leaving[2] (or to bring it along).

Please write when you plan to leave and expect to arrive here.

Berg is said to have scored a success in Paris. But the Union crowd in Russia have achieved absolutely nothing! This is the very time to crush them.

I am writing a pamphlet[3] against them, and I get angrier and angrier as I go on. The only trouble is that my pamphlet is getting too fat!

Yours,

Frey
