January 25, 1913

Dear Comrade, In answer to your request, I am sending you as brief an
“ exposé ” as possible. [1] If you had not added that “the history of the polemics ” would not be barred from your book, it
would have been quite impossible to give an account of
Bolshevism.

Moreover, doubt has been aroused in my mind by your sentence: “ I shall try to make no changes in your account.”
I must lay down as a condition for it being printed that
there are to be no changes whatsoever . (As to purely censorship changes we could, of course, come to a special
arrangement.)

If it doesn’t suit, please return the sheet.

With fraternal greetings,
N. Lenin

My address is: Wl. Uljanow. 47. Lubomirskiego. Krakau .
