Dear Comrade,

I cannot agree to your alterations. The book Twelve Years^[1] has been confiscated, and it is hardly likely that a copy can be found. However, I shall try and make some inquiries, and if I have any luck I shall send you one.

Nadezhda Konstantinovna sends her greetings.

Absender: Wl. Uljanow. 47. Lubomirskiego. Krakau.

With all respect,
Lenin
