Written after July 26, 1915 · First published in 1964 in Collected Works, Fifth (Russian) Ed., Vol. 49. Sent from Sörenberg to Hertenstein. Printed from the original. · page 472

Re “Bibliography and Notes”, I am for publishing them. What is an extra 100–200 (less) frs.?

The important thing is to have the issue all of a piece.^[1] It is important to have voices from everywhere (Golay, Sinclair, Die Internationale) against the social-chauvinists.^[2]

Are Yuri and the Japanese^[3] going? When?
