To Comrade Chicherin or Karakhan
I earnestly request that tomorrow, Friday, you send to Berlin 12 copies of my article against Kautsky from "Pravda" 2 for Ioffe, Berzin, Vorovsky 3 and my following brief letter to them:

Dear Comrades! I am very well aware of the shortcomings of my too brief article against Kautsky. But nevertheless, it is necessary to take a stand as soon as possible, to express one's opinion. I very much ask you to translate and publish it as a leaflet.
October 10, 1918.
Lenin
