V. I. LENIN. — TO V. A. KARPINSKY  
19/V 1914. [Poronin]  

Dear Friend,  
I have a request to make of you: have you in your library, or can you get me in Switzerland, the first volume of Rubakin’s *Among Books*?  

By the way: was it you who sent me the first volume?¹ If so, I haven’t sent you the postage!! And you didn’t remind me.  

Drop me a line, please, and I’ll send the money for both volumes. (I need the first one for a very short time.)  

Do you always see *Put Pravdy*?  

What has become of that young Wittmerite Bek, the nervous vegetarian, whom I saw at your place a year ago?²  

Could any of your acquaintances go to Vienna as a delegate at their own expense (we have no money, alas!)?³ Look around, find out.  

We have to form a delegation.  

A firm handshake. Greetings to Comrade Olga. Nadezhda Konstantinovna sends greetings to you both too.  

Yours, Lenin
