While in Paris I studied American agricultural statistics (Vol. V, Agriculture—Census of 1900) and found a great deal of interesting material. Now that I am living in Cracow I cannot obtain these publications. Kahan, the editor of the socialist Jewish newspaper in New York, 299 who was here a year ago, promised to send them, but apparently forgot.

I am told that with the right backing the American Statistical Bureau sends its publications even abroad free of charge. If this is true, could you give me such backing? (I could send the Statistical Bureau library my books *The Development of Capitalism in Russia* and *The Agrarian Question*.*) What I need particularly is Agriculture—Vol. V, Census of 1900, and also the Census of 1910 (if it has not yet appeared, the preliminary bulletins).

If this is impossible, would you be so kind as to drop a postcard to Mr. John Ellert (c/o *Novy Mir*, 300 140 East 4th Street, New York) telling him that I will send him the money to forward the most important items for me.

Thanking you once more for the book and apologising for troubling you,

With Social-Democratic greetings,

N. Lenin (V. Ulyanov)
