Dear V. K.,

The compositor has held things up terribly!! He promised the manifesto for Monday, but today is Friday. Terrible!

Will it always be like this??

As regards the address to be put on the newspaper: is it worth taking a case? For this would

(1) make you go there a hundred times for nothing, (2) the authorities will know anyway who took the box.

Think it over, wouldn’t it be better to put the address of the Bibliothèque Russe* for the editorial office of the Central Organ?

Let us think this over.

Nicolet, they say, is not capable of keeping and transmitting money, etc.

I have sent the order of articles: send the proofs in parts. Then there will be no need to lose two days (terribly long) on sending the made-up form (when sending by express, one day is quite enough).

We are impatiently awaiting the proofs.

On Monday I am lecturing in Montreux, on Tuesday in Zurich. I shall not go to Geneva.

Greetings and best wishes.

Yours, Lenin

I have just received your letter. As regards Jaurès and Frank, let us postpone it for the time being. We must wait. Simply to abuse them

would be awkward. There is nothing to praise them for. We have decided to keep silent for a while.

But what about the proofs??? Will it always be so slow? The last issue of the Central Organ was in December 1913—No. 32. So now it should be No. 33.
