To:   G. Y. ZINOVIEV

1) I am sending you Roland-Holst. I think she ought not to be published
either.

2) Reply to
Bukharin. [1]

I agree to your changes, but one thing should be added, namely:
that the main thing for us is the article’s shortcomings
on points of principle .

||

Otherwise it looks as if we are hedging.

If you agree to this insertion, then send the letter (working it in
logically).

If not, we shall discuss it once more.

3) I can’t find the sheet you refer to as having my mark there
expressing my agreement to have the article commissioned. This is a mistake
on your
[part]. [2]

4) Franz has left an article. In my opinion a very good and
brief one. I am for putting it in. I shall send it to you.

5) There is no need to hurry with the Paris collection. Let’s
calculate exactly what can go in (5 sheets at 50,000=250,000
printer’s ems altogether ).

6) I am writing the reply to Yuri. This is a long job, though.

Best regards, Lenin
