To:   N. I. BUKHARIN

7/IX.1922.

Comrade Bukharin:

I have read (in Sotsialistichesky Vestnik ) Gorky’s vile
letter. [2] At first I thought of attacking him in the press
(over the S.R.s), but then decided that this would he too
much. Let us consult about this. Perhaps you see him now and then and talk with him? Please, write me your
opinion. I have seen few newspapers (almost no foreign ones). This means that I have scant knowledge of the
“situation”. Write me your opinion in the greatest possible
detail.

Best regards from all of us to your wife and yourself.

Yours,

Lenin

P.S. I am almost well.

P.S. I am writing to Krestinsky to get me the original of Gorky’s letter published in Sotsialistichesky Vestnik of
20/VII.1922. [1]

If he forgets, will you send it along.
