To:   RAYMOND ROBINS [1]

30. IV. 1918

Dear Mr. Robins, I thank you very much for your letter. I am sure the
new democracy, that is, the proletarian democracy, is coming in all countries and will crush all obstacles and the
imperialist-capitalist system in the new and the old world, With kindly regards and thanks,
Yours truly, Lenin

[1]
This letter is a reply to Raymond Robins, a member of the
American Red Cross Mission. It was written in English. At the head
of the letter, Lenin wrote: “Reply 30.IV. 1918.”

On the eve of his departure from Soviet Russia for the United
States, R. Robins wrote to Lenin expressing sincere thanks for the
assistance given him in his work for the American Red Cross
Mission.

A few days later, on May 11, 1918, Lenin wrote a letter
addressed “To All Soviets of Workers’ and Soldiers’ Deputies and
Other Soviet Organisations”, requesting them “to give every
assistance to Colonel Robins and the other members of the
American Red Cross Mission for their unhindered and speedy journey
from Moscow to Vladivostok”.
