V. I.

Lenin

537

To:   M. N. POKROVSKY

Dear M. N., I had just sent you a postcard about the pamphlet (in reply to yours)
when I started receiving the money and have now received 500 frs. in 2 instalments , for which I thank you very much.

I have also received a formal answer (from the P.O.) that my manuscript
on
economics, [1] which I sent you on 2.VII.1916, saisi l’autorité militaire !!! [2]

Simply incredible!! Can anything be done about it, or is it hopeless?

Best regards and best wishes, Yours,

V. Ulyanov
