21 February 1903

Dear Comrade!

Please forgive me for not having written to you in quite some time. I have been extremely busy preparing a paper for presentation in Paris, where I am due to depart in the coming days—on the 22nd, to be precise.

I have received all of your materials—and a comrade from the editorial board, to whom I entrusted them, will soon be responding to you.

Sending you a hearty handshake. Yours, Lenin

P.S. You may continue to address your letters to this same address. Should you have anything of importance to communicate to me in Paris, please write to:

M-r Zagorsky.

Boulevard Port Royal, 85.

Paris.

Inside: For Lenin.
