To:   G. Y. ZINOVIEV (1) Vorbote obviously will not come out before the
conference. It is necessary immediately to order as many printed
copies of our theses as possible. And quickly too.

(2) Have you made the insertions in German?

(3) I don’t know what material I have to collect. You should collect it and write to me what is missing. Otherwise nothing will
come of it.

(4) Send me the proofs of the protest against Martov.

(5) I know nothing about the
Scandinavians. [1] Two letters have been sent to Kollontai. There is
little hope after the events in Stockholm.

(6) My personal finances are not altogether hopeless: whence these
“false rumours”???

(7) Did you receive the parcel?

(8) Will you send the German theses (the corrected copy) which I have
sent you?

(9) I cannot come on Friday. I have a lot of work to do and I am very
late with it.

Since Radek has no theses and there are no hopes of coming to an
agreement with him (on the question of annexations and the right to
self-determination), the “bureau” for the time being is
useless. It will be useful in the evening on the 2nd day of the conference,
when the composition will have become clear.

(10) Can’t you give me a more exact address besides the name of the
village you have given me? [2]

The collection of material for the war with Martov is very important.

Attend to this carefully and in good time , otherwise we shall
be late in finding the missing material.

Salut, Lenin
