International. See yourself that this is done; if need be

Lenin

I have received Adolphe S. Carm’s English letter (“Dresden”, Room No. 37) bitterly complaining that he has been
slandered over factional hostility by Hey wood, who has
informed on him as a spy. He says the commission (of the
Comintern) has cleared him, but though he has been released from prison, he is not being allowed to leave Russia,
his letters have been confiscated, etc., etc.

He says that he is known to Boris Reinstein, the Swede
Kilbom, the Finnish Communist Allan Wallenius and many others.

He says he is a delegate from the Socialist Labour Party
of the United States.

Notes:
[1]
On Lenin’s manuscript there is this note by a secretary: “Talked
with Comrade Rakosi: he promised to find out and give a written
reply.” On September 9, 1921, I. S. Unschlicht, Deputy
Chairman of the All-Russia Cheka, informed Lenin that in view of
Adolphe Carm’s release, he was being allowed to leave the territory
of the R.S.F.S.R., and his case had been quashed.
