I am sending an article. 381 This one has turned out well! Should I add two little things?

(1) that the Germans, too, have defeatists, of whom history will tell (remember Seger’s story and about Bloch);

(2) about the unseemly outburst of the *Gazeta Robotnicza* against us on the subject of defeatism.

As for the I.S.B., I think it would be better to wait for an invitation!

I see *Avanti!* but do not follow it closely. Let Georgy write the exact number and date.
(Wasn’t that a meeting of parliamentarians, which, I think, was spoken of at Kienthal?)
The parliamentarians are all Kautskyites.

Since Alexander has already been set up in type, we are in a rather difficult position. What is to be done?

I cannot cut down Strannik! I have read him twice!! I have no strength to read any more.

I will send you my reply to Yuri in a day or two.*

Would it not be better to come to a more precise understanding with Paris first?

* This refers to “Reply to P. Kievsky (Yuri Pyatakov)”. Ed.

Would it not turn out to be a mess if we start sending but are unable to send continuously?

I am cursing Grisha devilishly for his carelessness and inaccuracy: he cannot write properly!

He sends stupid telegrams!

In Zurich there is absolutely no one to put in charge of correspondence.

Greetings! Lenin
Should there not be a conspiratorial letter from Grisha in a day or two? Is that not so?
