To:   G. Y. ZINOVIEV

I have received the manuscript.

I am sending Neue Zeit +2 Austr. books (I shall ask for them
again, but later on: will let you know).

We have written to
James. [1]
[2]

As regards writing for the legal collection, I’m afraid I won’t manage
it.

Send me a list of the articles for our Sbornik .

You can’t invite Guilbeaux to contribute: he’s a wind bag; we may
disgrace ourselves. We had better wait.

Did you send Usiyevich Pod Starym Znamenem ?

Fru Alexandra Kollontay .

Turisthotel. Holmenkollen .

Kristiania.

Did you send a formal letter to Bukharin offering him to publish a discussion
article? [3] It is absolutely necessary to send him a formal letter and
keep a copy (send it to me). A polite letter, of course, saying
that we are replying to Radek’s theses in any case (to hint that he can
wait until this discussion is over if he wants).

Have you a set of Nashe Slovo ?

Since Konferenz has been substituted for Kriegs-Parteitag—this smacks
of a semi-deal with the Kautskyites.

What is this about your being unwell? You must go to

Sahli without fail and strictly carry out doctor’s orders! Show this to Zina.

Salut!
Lenin
