I am currently not serving as Chairman of the Council of People’s Commissars. I will immediately forward your message to the comrades who are replacing me and demand the strictest possible investigation*.

I am also sending you the text of my concluding speech delivered at the Eleventh Congress (early April 1922) of our Party**.

Please do not forget the attached correction.

This is the only speech that I wrote in advance—and even so, our donkeys were still unable to typeset it without errors!! Thus, this is now the only speech that has been correctly transmitted (after the correction). I earnestly request that you entrust the task of rendering this speech into German with great care and have it printed—394.

I doubt that I will be able to send you anything else besides this.

Best regards! Yours, Lenin
