Comrade Lezhava

Comrade Lezhava! It is very urgent to meet with Zimmermann and to submit to the Politburo:
Platten, through his courier (Zimmermann (leaves tomorrow 21/IX): a communist from Switzerland; he is here now) requests

NOTES ON KAMENEV'S REPORT AND NOTE TO CHICHERIN to preserve and confirm his mandate as the trade representative of the RSFSR in Switzerland, because this

1) will help him, Platten, to be released from prison (he has already been sentenced to serve 6 months) before the term,

2) will strengthen his position in the communist movement.

Platten needs financial assistance: he is in a difficult situation.
