Dear Comrade,

I am sending you my article by book-post, which is to serve as a reply to the attacks of Comrade Rosa Luxemburg.\(^{557}\) I am aware of the sympathy of the editors of *Neue Zeit* for my opponents, but I think it would be only fair to grant me the right to correct the inaccuracies in Rosa Luxemburg’s articles. My article has been translated by Comrade Lidin. You have already printed one of his articles, so you can judge his knowledge of German.

I myself cannot write in German. In my article I have been very brief: I wanted it to take up less space than Rosa Luxemburg’s article and not be too long for *Neue Zeit*. If you nevertheless find the article too long, I am prepared to cut it down again to the length indicated by the editors. But at the same time I must insist that no cuts be made without my consent.

I earnestly request you to let me know whether the editors accept the article or not.\(^{558}\)

With Social-Democratic greetings,
N. Lenin
