M-me Armand. Drosselweg. 23. Bern.

Dear friend! Nadia has told me about the troubles that have arisen in Bern and are falling on you1 as well. If I may give you some advice: please pay as little attention to them as possible. In truth, it will be a torment when it is stirred up. I am very glad of your plan to change the air for the summer, for a while, - only (once again: if you allow me to give advice) do not choose Sdrenberg, but a new place with new people to shake things up. I shake hands firmly and wish you from the bottom of my heart more vigor and disregard for Bern's troubles.

Your Lenin.
