To:   Y. S. VARGA

10/IV.1922

Dear Comrade Varga:

Unfortunately I am still ill and unable to work. Please
reprint only my articles (the old ones); extracts from my
spring 1918 article [1] (already printed in the pamphlet on
the tax in kind [2]

)

would be important. Perhaps, too (by way of exception), some passages from my speech at the
1922 Party Congress: but I myself have been unable to read the speech in the press: the whole thing might be terribly
distorted. Please make sure that you show me beforehand
the extracts (well edited by some competent comrade!)
you intend to reprint. [3]

Best regards, Yours, Lenin
