(1) The *Vorbote* will obviously not appear before the conference. It is necessary to order a larger number of printed copies of our theses at once. And as soon as possible.

(2) Have the additions been inserted in them in German?

(3) What materials I am to collect I do not know. You must collect them, and write to me about what is lacking. Otherwise nothing will come of it.

(4) Send the proof-sheets of the protest against Martov.

(5) I know nothing about the Scandinavians. 271 I have written to Kollontai twice. There is little hope after the events in Stockholm.

(6) My personal finances are by no means hopeless yet: where are these “false rumours” coming from???

(7) Have you received the parcel?

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

(9) I cannot come on Friday. I have a lot of work and am very much behindhand with it.

Since Radek has no theses and it is hopeless to come to terms with him (the question of annexations and the right to self-determination), the “bureau” is useless for the time being. It will be useful in the evening of the second day of the conference, when the composition is determined.

(10) Could you give me a more exact address, not only the name of the village as you did? 272

The collection of material for the fight against Martov is very important.

Attend to it more carefully and earlier, otherwise we shall not manage to find what is lacking.

Salut. Lenin
