Lenin

To:   L. B. KAMENEV

Dear L. B., I am sending a cheque. Once it’s repayable, it can’t be helped, no
matter how badly off we are. Arrange the lectures immediately , old
chap, on your way down here. I got back from Leipzig today [2] : 64 marks is money, after all! Several cities will
make it much more.

Today I shall send you the Duma materials. The deputies (6) have got to
be helped to write their speeches . Definitely. Sit down to it
yourself (the Duma is opening 24.IV, O.S. , you must hurry ) and put Alexinsky on the job. A good excuse for
you—write him pneu [1]

,

as to a Pravda contributor, and arrange to meet. It is desirable (but not obligatory ) that the speeches be sent via Cracow.

I am sending the subjects.

See to this as quickly and energetically as possible. Get in
touch with Alexinsky....

A thousand greetings, Yours, Lenin
