Dear A. M.,

The comrade who will forward this letter on to you is Troyanovsky, who now lives in Vienna. He and his wife have now energetically taken in hand Prosveshcheniye. He has raised a little money, and we hope that thanks to their energy and assistance we shall succeed in putting up a small Marxist journal against the renegade liquidators. I think you, too, will not refuse help for Prosveshcheniye.

Yours,
Lenin

P.S. I hope you received my long letter concerning the Vperyod people.^[1] How on earth did you get yourself into   Luck??? Not in the wake of the deputies, surely? But they simply got caught in the trap and will probably soon leave it.
