Have you read the materials (Italian) about their congress?

Would you like me to give you [the materials] so that you could write an article and utterly destroy, smear with dirt, the swindler Serrati?

I would very much like to. I followed everything up to the congress, but I know little about the congress itself. It would be necessary to get all the material. What
approximate size should the article be, and for which publication?

[There is no need to] reproach the publication. And we can always make a short one out of a long one.
