V. I.

Lenin

Dear Comrade, Here is our new address. [1] Send everything to it, please.
We have taken the premises for a month. On Thursday (Feb. 17) I am giving the first lecture here (“Two
Internationals”), and after a while, the second (“Conditions of
Peace and the National Question”, or something of that kind).

Please write and tell me when it will be possible to give
a lecture (the first, or both?) in Geneva, and whether the
cost can be covered. How much will it yield net, as a minimum? I have to know this, because I am very short of
money, and I must calculate as carefully as possible whether I should travel from here (at greater expense) or later
on from Berne (I can stay more than a month here, if I like
it). I shall await detailed and authoritative instructions
from you. Perhaps you would drop a line to Lausanne, too, to find out whether it is worth while going there for
an evening?

Best wishes, and regards to V. K. and all our friends.

Yours,
V. U.

Nadya sends warm greetings.

In view of the need to work in Zurich libraries, Lenin and
N. K. Krupskaya moved to Zurich in February 1916.
