Dear comrade!

I do not have *Vorwarts*, and yet there are now (to judge by excerpts from other socialist newspapers) important things in it — for example, reviews (and correspondence) about the Petersburg workers' movement, about manifestations etc.

We need [this] extremely (both for the Central Organ and for other work).

Could you compile (and continue to compile) a collection of clippings from *Vorwarts* on these questions (with indication of newspaper dates) and send them to us?

If you can, I will send money for expenses (write down how much).

If you are occupied or simply cannot do it, let me know.

I hope you are following *Vorwarts*? Was there a translation of Plekhanov's article from *For the Party*?362

You would greatly oblige me if you also collect clippings from bourgeois newspapers about the present turbulent events in Petersburg.

Hurry!

I await your reply.

Yours, Lenin
