From Lenin. Personal to Nina Lvovna
24. 12. 04.

Dear little beast!* I have been meaning to write to you for a long time, but the bustle prevents me. Now we are in high spirits and all terribly busy: yesterday the announcement appeared of the publication of our newspaper *Vperyod*. All the majority are jubilant and encouraged as never before. At last we have broken with that filthy squabbling and will work together in harmony with those who want to work, not to make trouble! A good group of writers has been got together, there are fresh forces, we have little money, but we should soon have some. The Central Committee, which betrayed us, has lost all credit, has co-opted (meanly—secretly) Mensheviks and is floundering in its fight against the Congress.

The majority committees are uniting, have already elected a bureau, and now the organ will unite them completely. Hurrah! Don’t lose heart, now we are all reviving and will revive. One way or another, a little sooner or a little later, we hope to see you too without fail. Drop a line about your health and, above all, keep cheerful; remember that you and I are not so old yet—everything is still ahead. I embrace you warmly*.

Yours, Lenin
