Comrade Ganetsky!

Several months ago Litvinov took from me for review an English manuscript (typewritten; about a dozen notebooks, bound together) under the title "Great american hypocrisy" ("Great American Hypocrisy") 376.

Now comrade Martens, who gave me this manuscript, is requesting it back from me.

If Litvinov has not left behind here a secretary of his or someone else through whom one could inquire, then I would ask you to send a telegram to Litvinov (or a letter by courier, if it won't take too long):

Lenin requests that you return to him the English manuscript you were given by him under the title: "Great American Hypocrisy."

Yours, Lenin
