To:   INESSA ARMAND

Dear Friend, We are sending back the letters of
Grisha [1] and the French. The latter shows, to my great satisfaction,
that you have had a great influence on the French and have left enduring
marks.

As regards Guilbeaux, we shall await events; since “no one invited him
to be editor”, how did he get there—by crashing the gate?

We shall wait for Graber’s reply to you and for your explanations!

Your plan for arranging a French paper for us (!?), apart from Sentinelle (!?), is anything but clear to me.... H’m,
h’m....

Get George’s article and mine on self-determination and on Junius from
Grigory (if you have not already done so).

I wish you all the best and beg you to take a cure , so that
you may be quite fit by winter. Go south, to the sunshine!!

Have you got La Feuille, Ce qu’il faut dire, The Call ? [2] I can send them.

Salut, Lenin
