Dear Comrade Huysmans!

Allow me to recommend to you the bearer of this letter, Comrade Bogdasaryan, a member of our party. This comrade, having just come out of prison, has been refused all support by his relatives and is no longer able to continue his studies at the University. He knows French well, and I hope it will not be difficult for you to find him some intellectual work.

I thank you in advance and send you my fraternal

N. Lenin
