Today—Monday morning—we still have no answer from Radek to the prepaid telegram!! What is it—some intrigues “around Grimm” against the Letts?? Is it possible that they   won’t be invited!? If I go tomorrow,^[1] I shall wire you, and you will then come dawn by the first train. Bring all the material (don’t forget anything: Voprosy Strakhovaniya and Nashe Dyelo and Nashe Slovo and the Norwegian letter and everything else).

I have had a postcard from Kollontai. She is going it full tilt.

Salut!
Lenin
