Dear Comrade,

Thank you for letting me know about Mikhail’s condition. I took steps at once to get a grant for him. As matters stand, it is hopeless to try and get it through the Central Committee’s Bureau Abroad, because there we are now in a minority. There was an opportunity to write to Russia, and I asked the Russian Central Committee to take a decision on a grant for Mikhail. I hope to have a favourable reply in two weeks’ time. In any case, it would be essential to ensure that Mikhail should continue the treatment and stay at Davos for the time being, until a complete cure.

All the best,
Yours,
N. Lenin
