To:   HIS SISTER MARIA

Dear, sweet
Mimosa, [1]

I ask you very much to go away for treatment, do not postpone it. You must not miss the chance. When you
return it will be easy to arrange a job for you. You absolutely must go.

The Beer plan is an excellent one. Try also to get Schlüter on Chartism (in
German); [3] it appeared after Beer and corrected that opportunist. A very good booklet could
be written about Beer and Schlüter . Drop me a line in reply.

“ Party Congresses” is also a good subject (in addition
to the minutes , various booklets [2] are needed, I do not
even approximately remember which ones). If you do write,
send me the draft and we can discuss it.

I embrace you very fondly.

V. Ul.

Lenin’s “Report” on the Stockholm Congress is in my possession quite by chance, and nothing else.... Too little!— Lenin

Lenin recommended these books to his sister Maria because she
intended writing a book on the British working-class movement.
