To:   L. B. KAMENEV

Dear L. B., Congratulations on your speech. [1]

Dash it all, it’s disgusting: the Vorstand will give permission to
“circulate”.... [2]

I am sending the article I wrote for Bremer Bürger-Zeitung
with Malecki’s translation. [3] I decided to send it to you when I learned that you had
met Pannekoek. It would be best if you personally gave him the
article and discussed it with him. I give you the right to make cuts and
changes but bear in mind that I do not agree to being simply “for Radek ”. [4] If they do not want to hear out my whole statement
(against Rosa and for our Party ), then to hell with them.

Best regards, Yours, Lenin

Write details about Axelrod and all the Test. (We published in Leipzig
a leaflet with our answer to the Vorstand. Wire or telephone Albert to let
you have it all immediately if you haven’t received it yet.)

The Vorstand of course will forbid it. Arrange it privately and
circulate it without fail.
