Send me as quickly as possible the clippings from *Berner Tagwacht* (I have nothing and do not know what the dispute is between Grimm and Platten and Münzenberg) and Radek's letter (I do not know what the defence of Grimm consists of). Without this I cannot assess the statement. (It will not be too late even in a few days, but we must weigh it carefully.) Grisha's plan is not clear. We are writing him an inquiry asking him to send the details. Where is Shklovsky? If he is with you, have him send us the prisoners' letters (it is essential to see them in order to know the inquiries and thoughts of the readers). I half-promised conditionally to write for Gnevich's journal, but I think I shall not be able to: I am in debt to the Russians... I have sent Engels. I can send *Demain* (with a very empty article by Raffin-Dugens). Salut!
