V. I.

Lenin

442

To:   G. Y. ZINOVIEV [1]

I am sending you Grimm’s letter [2] and my draft reply.

We must do our best and assert ourselves .

With the C.O. it’s the devil to pay. 75 thousand ems of copy have been
sent (altogether 84 3/4) and I have forgotten the declaration of
the
French+Germans. [3]

This will fill it up.

I suggest devoting this No. solely to the conference (and the
next one to Russia).

Among the printed supplements to Zhizn only the translation of
Bulletin No. 1. “ Nashe Slovo ” all blank . [4]

Best regards, Lenin

I have answered Bukharin at length.

N.B. ||

More detailed letters should be sent to him and more often.

If you agree with the answer to Grimm, send it to Shklovsky
who is to call on Radek and translate it with him . If you do not
agree, return it.

We are going to Berne on Sunday or Monday.

I am sending the letter from the Japanese. Return it . What is
to be done about the meeting of the Editorial Board? (It would be good to
have 2 articles about the conference in No. 3 of Kommunist .)
