Dear L. B.,  
I am sending you Pole-tayev’s letter (return it immediately) and the article  
(return it also)...*  

I have read “The Topics of the Day.” What a swine! We don’t know whether to abuse them or keep silent about these piglets. Is it even worth abusing them now? What is your opinion?  

In my view, we must nevertheless hit them, but not too hard, in the next issue of the Central Organ.  

You seem to have done splendidly with the lecture...  

A thousand greetings! Yours, Lenin  

P.S. Good news from St. Petersburg, the Moscow Region, and the South. An illegal workers’ organisation is growing and taking shape. A reform has been started in *Pravda*.  

Trovanovsky is raising something like a squabble over Koba’s article for *Prosveshcheniye*:  
“The National Question and Social-Democracy.” He says it should be marked as controversial, because Galina is for cultural-national autonomy!!  

Of course, we are absolutely against it. The article is very good. The question is a fighting one, and we shall not yield an inch of our principled position against the Bundist swine.  

It may “blow over,” but... tenez vous pour averti!**  

We have decided to abuse the Vperyodists. Let Miron write whether there is money for a 4-page Central Organ.  

Have you read “Meteor” in *Russkoye Bogatstvo*? What is it? A lampoon?
