Cher camarade, I am sitting in the British Museum and reading with interest
Schweitzer’s pamphlets of the 60s; it is wonderful how they bear out the
opinion of him as an opportunist in the question of ways to unity!

I obviously will not have the time to do everything need ed to
write about this. I would therefore ask you to go (or send a
reliable person) to the Bibliothéque Nationale without a day’s
delay to find out what socialist literature of the 60s they have there. The
way to go about it is this:

write down all the most important titles (exact dates and places
of publication are important ) and let them tell you what they
haven’t got.

Add to the enclosed list (from Bebel and Mehring and Gust. Mayer) and
reply as soon as possible .

Yours,
N. Lenin
