  To Inessa

Dear Friend,

We shall manage the copying.

As regards Guilbeaux I don’t know what to say. I am not clear about the plan: who exactly is on the Editorial Board? (Guilbeaux+??) Guilbeaux is pretty feeble and will spoil everything (I’m afraid!)....

What can I have against your article going into the collection?^[1] I am all for it.

All the best.
Lenin

P.S. How strange that Radek does not answer you. I can’t make it out.

Mind you, he answers Grigory, doesn’t he?

Notes

[1] This probably refers to Armand’s article “Who Is Going To Pay For the War?” The article was not published.—Ed.
