V. I.

Lenin

409

To:   V. A. KARPINSKY

Dear Comrade, I am sending you the proofs.

If the No. is full up (i.e., if there is quite enough copy), put it out at once. (Arrange the articles at your discretion:
“Defeat”—editorial. [1]

)

If you have room, insert the enclosed postscript to the article “State
of
Affairs”. [2]

After this No. we shall immediately issue the next, carrying the
article on pacifism (has it been set up?). Write without delay, how much
copy you have for this (next) issue and how much you are short of!

Regards, Yours, Lenin
