Dear Peter!

So you did get connected personally after all, while M-r turned out to be eliminated. Quod erat demonstrandum.

Je vous félicite cordialement.

Send the address of the Jew and tell him firmly that you are a representative of *Proletariat*, not (some newspaper?) and that a man will soon arrive from us especially for this matter. It is necessary that our envoy receive complete confidence from the Jew, as much as possible without all intermediaries. In Vienna I earnestly request that you collect new Polish literature or find out its addresses in Cracow. We need the official report on the X Congress of the PPS (Left), which recently adopted the most important decisions. Get this report without fail.

Greetings! Your V. Ulyanov

P.S. We will request from the editorial board...
