Paper has become more expensive again. Will Benteli not raise prices even higher than they already are? You should find out about this (perhaps it would be more convenient in a personal visit), keeping his written reply.

Return "Delo" as soon as possible. I will send Avilova: I wrote about him by mistake*.

I am having the reply to Yury copied and will then send it to you for forwarding to him: so that time is not wasted, write more precisely when exactly and where I should write to you.

Regards! Lenin to Gärtenstein (Switzerland)
