[January 13, 1921]

Comrade Steklov!
Writing in haste. I very much want to send you greetings regarding
the excellent article today (13/1) on the Congress in Tours 1. The analysis of the relations
between Guesdism and the peasants is superb. This is how and this is what
you should write more about and perhaps produce a pamphlet.
It will probably be necessary to translate it into French.
Best regards! Lenin

Party (December 25-30, 1920) in Tours. The article was published in "Izvestia of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee" No. 7, January 13, 1921.
