[March 13, 1917]

Dear Radek! I was already about to write to you when your postcard came with the promise to write in detail "tomorrow." But "tomorrow" passed, and once more "tomorrow," and once more—and still no news!!

Please very much send me back the Swedish letter—I have already asked you for it twice. Is it possible that you have lost it?

And about Jul. Borchardt? No news? Do you still not have the book by Karl Erdmann?

Have you seen No. 10 of the organ O.K. ("Izvestiya O.K.")? Martynov writes that you have not refuted Grimm's lie—ergo!!!!

But the entire content of this article by Martynov is so idiotic—this fool is helping us excellently.

We have written to Karl. Many thanks for your information about his health.

Best regards to you and your wife from us both.

Lenin

P.S. Do write a few words!
