Comrade Chicherin!

The bearer—comrade Latukka, a Finnish Social Democrat, who helped us greatly when we were hiding in Finland.167 We must now help him in every way possible. He would like to go to Switzerland.

Be so kind as to speak with him and help him realize his wish, finding him a position at the embassy. He is a journalist.

Your Lenin
