V. I.

Lenin

Dear V. K., I was away on business for a few days (and only for that
period did I ask that everything should be sent to Geneva;
now please send everything again—including the booklet—
to Sörenberg).

On my arrival I found your letter about Rolland’s articles. [1] I am terribly worried about your not having received
them. I sent them to you by letter post two weeks ago, if
not more. I have not had any cases before this of unregistered letters being lost in Switzerland. Could there be some
mistake? Perhaps someone has received these articles in
your absence ? Write about this, please. If the answer is that
there was not, and could not have been any mistake, and
if you do not have the articles, I will naturally do everything possible to get them for you (if I have lost them).
I shall either buy this issue, or (if it has been sold out) get
it from the library and make a complete copy for you . I am
very sorry, and please write to me as soon as possible how
matters stand. If you require a copy, how soon ? Write frankly .

Regards, Yours, Lenin

For some reason I have stopped receiving Zhizn . Is there
no exchange? Would you make an inquiry? And what about
Vperyod [2] ? What news is there of the O.C.
miscellany [3] and the Bund publications? Kommunist No. 1–2 has appeared . [4] This is a fact.
