Dear L. B.,

Shame—shame—shame!

Not a word for Pravda about Basle!! What’s the matter??

You had five aides and not a single letter from Basle to us!!—not a single dispatch to Pravda!!

And why didn’t you give mandates to the “girls” (all those who were in Basle) when you had my blank mandate?

Yours,
Lenin
