Dear Comrades!

I deeply regret and apologize that owing to illness I am unable to provide an article or letter for your collection, as it certainly should have been done. Soviet power has done, is doing, and will do everything possible and some things impossible to assist the hungry. I shake your hand and wish complete success to your publication.

With comradely greetings, V. Ulyanov (Lenin)
