IN CIPHER

Bela Kun, Budapest

We in the Party C.C. have specially discussed the question you raised, as a special item on the agenda, about sending the comrade you named. We found it impossible to send him and sent another, who has already left and is only delayed for technical reasons; he should arrive with you shortly.

I may add, in passing, that you are, of course, right in starting negotiations with the Entente.

They must be started and conducted; every possibility, even if only of a temporary truce or peace, must certainly be utilised to give the people a rest. But do not trust the Entente for a moment; it is deceiving you and only gaining time to strangle you and us more effectively.

Try to organise postal communication with us by means of aircraft. Best greetings.

Lenin

Comrade Chicherin! Please translate and send to Bela Kun.

June 18. Lenin
