4) We need to decide on the Paris anthology: what should its composition be, and what should its size be?

If 2,000 copies, each comprising 5 sheets (= 10,000 sheets), cost 500 francs, then 1,500 copies—no more are needed—can be published in roughly 6⅔ sheets.
50,000
330,000 characters.

Probably fewer than 330,000; perhaps around 300,000?

Isn’t that right?

We also need to find out whether they accept illegal submissions in Paris—that is, whether they print clandestinely?

This is especially important! Yet we still haven’t received a complete answer from Grisha!!!

Once we’ve clarified all of this, let us compile a list of materials for Paris.
(I don’t think we need to count Yuri’s article—or his reply—as part of the final submission, since: 1) the reply has not yet been written; 2) it remains uncertain whether His Commercial Majesty will approve the printing.)

5) For Radek’s theses, I’ll set aside 375 (for review); I have not yet read them in proof.

6) I’m returning Strannik’s additions, number 376. So what shall we do with them??

Greetings! Lenin
