LETTER TO B. S. STOMONYAKOV
8/I X [1921] – To Comrade Stomonakov!
I have received and read your note regarding the matter at hand, namely, the negotiations with Kopp*. Be that as it may, a treaty with the German group is of paramount importance to us, and we must do everything in our power to support their desire (if such a desire exists—after all, we must seek it out and nurture it) to stand opposed to the Entente.
