Dear V. K.,

I am sending you the rest of the articles. All to be set in brevier.

Take the old format of the C.O.

48 thousand letters desirable.

Order:
1) statement of the C.C.^[1]
2) reply of Russian S.D.s
3) against the current
4) article on the International^[2]
5) the International and defence of the fatherland
6) St. Ptsb. Letter from St. Ptsb.
7) R. V. Malinovsky.

Be sure to send the made-up issue before printing.

On Monday I am lecturing at Montreux: shall I drop in? Or will it be ready earlier?

Send in your paragraph; it will hardly suit the character of No. 1. Shouldn’t it wait for No. 2?

Yours, Lenin
