INSCRIPTION ON A LETTER FROM HENRI GUILBEAUX

Do not write about individuals.

Dear Comrade Lenin!
... I have the intention to write a small work: the leaders of the Bolshevik revolution and builders of the Russian Soviet republic, which will contain a series of portraits of people whose activity manifested itself both in the revolution and in the work of Soviet construction. I hope that this project will be accepted by the bureau of the III International, and I especially hope that after its acceptance it will be used...

Please accept, dear comrade, my fraternal handshake.

Henri Guilbeaux

Written in November, not earlier than the 28th, 1919
