Lenin

July 8, 1908

Dear Comrade, As regards the creditor, I have decided to postpone the
letter until a plenary meeting of the Central Committee,
which is to take place in the very near future. [1] I find
it inconvenient to butt in with the meeting of the authorised Party collegium about to take place.

I shall be very glad to see you here. I can say little that
is definite about the neighbourhood of Geneva: I have been ill all the time since my return from London, and
am sitting at home, without seeing anyone who lives in the
country. I know that in France , but quite close to Geneva,
there are many good and hardly expensive places. For example, there is Mornex on the slopes of the Salève, which
means that it is fairly high up. A friend of mine lived there
in 1904, and I believe one can stay there on one’s own quite
cheaply, and at slightly higher cost at the pensions, but
for 4–4 1/2 francs for sure, because that is the usual price.
One can also find a place a little farther away from Geneva
(Mornex is about 7 versts away, I should think, and there
is an electric tram up to Salève)—within 10 versts and more, on the slopes of the Jura, but I don’t know what the
place is like over there. I will try and find out something
more definite, and will write to you directly I discover
anything.

Every good wish, Yours, Lenin
