Dear Vladimir Dmitrievich,

Many thanks for the addresses. 264 Forgive me for causing you so much trouble; I did not think you would have to go for them.

I shall probably leave today. Please take the distribution work entirely into your own hands: everything shows that L. is not managing it. You will see how to take it over when you get there. But I am more and more convinced that until you take it over, things will not go well. Talk it over with Vasilyev again.

I firmly shake your hand.

Yours, N. Lenin

P.S. I am also relying on you regarding the printing press!

I sent Seladin* yesterday with Ignat. Did you receive it?
