I shall try to send a separate copy to the editorial office of *Neue Zeit*.

You have of course heard from comrade Tyshka about our internal struggle among the Bolsheviks. Your article against the Recallists and Ultimatists is very much liked by everyone 183: it is only a pity that you write in Russian so rarely, preferring the wealthy Social-Democratic party of the Germans to the poor Social-Democratic party of the Russians.

All the best! Greetings to Tyshka. I shake your hand.

N. Lenin

P.S. The editorial note in *Neue Zeit* to (the excellent) article by Rothstein in No. 33 suggests to me that Kautsky himself is now not very pleased with his own defence of the I.L.P.* in Brussels... Is that so?
