31/V - 1918

Comrade Ioffe!

The bearer — Comrade Valentina Bogrova, who in 1905 was secretary of the Petersburg Council of People's Deputies. Please help her to remain in Berlin for a serious operation with one of the famous surgeons there. I sent you today (and to Zagorkogo) another little note. I hope you received it.

Greetings! Your Lenin
