Dear G. V., I forgot to ask you to do the following: please Look among your papers
for a letter my wife sent you concerning the article “ The Workers’ Party and the Peasantry ” [1] (three or four close-written sheets of letter paper, without heading or
signature).

You haven’t given your opinion as regards printing it in
Zarya . I would like to remind you of it, so that you should not
forget to send it to us without fail before leaving [3] (or to bring it along).

Please write when you plan to leave and expect to arrive here.

Berg is said to have scored a success in Paris. But the Union crowd in
Russia have achieved absolutely nothing! This is the very time to crush
them.

I am writing a pamphlet [2] against them, and I get angrier and angrier as I go on. The only trouble is that my pamphlet is getting
too fat!

Yours, Frey
