To V. A. Karpinsky

Dear K.! I received your postcard and am hurrying to reply. Please bear with us a little longer—we will let you know what can and should be done regarding the matter you (and we) so earnestly desire.

By the way, don’t forget that legality here now takes on a special character: have you discussed this with your friends in Lausanne? Be sure to talk it over with them.

We remain in Bern. Our address is Donnerbuhlweg 11a, Uljanow.

As for the paper, I’m not yet sure what to do. We’ll need to think it over and consult more thoroughly.

How many people can we expect to join you? Eight.
Sending you a warm handshake—and greetings from all of us.

Yours, Lenin
