21/I. 13.

Dear A. M.! The comrade who will forward this letter to you is Troyanovskii, now living in Vienna. He and his wife have taken up work on *Prosveshchenie* [Enlightenment] with great energy, have scrounged together a small amount of funds, and we hope that thanks to their energy and assistance it will be possible to establish a Marxist journal against the renegade liquidators. I think you too will not refuse to help *Prosveshchenie*.

Your Lenin

P.S. I hope you received my long letter concerning the Vperiodists?* And how on earth did you end up in *Luch* [Ray]??? Surely not following the deputies? But they simply fell into a trap and will probably leave soon.
