1) I am sending Roland-Holst. In my opinion, it too should not be printed.

2) Reply to Bukharin 373. I agree to your changes, but one thing must be added, namely: that the main thing for us are the article's principled shortcomings.

Without this it looks as if we are prevaricating.

If you agree with this insertion, then send the letter (smoothing the logical transitions).

If not, let us discuss it again.

3) I do not find the leaflet you refer to, where I apparently expressed some sort of agreement to a commission. The mistake here is on your [side]**.

4) Franz has left an article, in my opinion very good and short. I am in favour of publication.

I shall send it.

* See present volume, pp. 288-289. – Ed.

** The manuscript text is partially damaged further on. The word in square brackets has been restored from the sense. – Ed.

5) The Paris symposium need not be hurried. Let us calculate exactly what will fit (5 sheets at 50,000 = 250,000 characters in total).

6) I am writing a reply to Yuri. That, however, is a lengthy matter.

Greetings. Lenin
