## LETTER TO HENRY GUILBEAUX

[June 2, 1918]

To Comrade Guilbeaux

Dear Comrade!

I hope you will not judge me too harshly. I am very occupied. This is because I have far too little time, and I shall confine myself to sending you greetings and ask you to write to me occasionally a few lines. A thousand greetings to you!

Your Lenin
