NOTE TO G. V. CHICHERIN OR L. M. KARAKHAN AND A LETTER TO A. A. JOFFE, J. A. BERZIN AND V. V. VOROVSKY

Comrades Chicherin or Karakhan

Will you please send to Berlin tomorrow, Friday, 12 copies of my article against Kautsky from
Pravda [1] for

Joffe, Berzin and Vorovsky, and the following brief letter
from me to them:

Dear Comrades, I am very well aware of the shortcomings of my too
brief article against Kautsky. Nevertheless, it is necessary
for us, as quickly as possible , to take a stand, to express
our opinion. Will you please have it translated and published
as a leaflet.
