Dear Comrade, The tanners of Vilna have sent Comrade Marzeli abroad to
collect money for the strikers. Comrade Marzeli saw

Comrade Legien, but Comrade Legien treated him with distrust because
Marzeli had no identification papers.

I know Comrade Marzeli, and he asks that the International Bureau
inform Comrade Legien that Comrade Marzeli has really been authorised by
the tanners of Vilna and that the money collected for the strikers be sent
to the address Comrade Marzeli indicated to Comrade Legien.

The tanners’ union of Vilna will send Comrade Legien in addition a
special authorisation. I am enclosing the stamp of this union.

With best wishes, Yours,

N. Lenin
