522. To INESSA ARMAND

Written October 28, 1916 · First published in 1964 in Collected Works, Fifth (Russian) Ed., Vol. 49. Sent from Zurich to Sörenberg. Printed from the original. · page 579

Dear Friend,

I sent you Letopis No. 7 yesterday.^[1] When you have done with it, return it or forward it to Berne to be returned from there without jail and without it going any further. Abramovich was here and we talked quite a lot. The chap   is working very well from below, independently of Huber, “agreements” with whom, of course, are worthless. If you sent me occasionally any interesting Nos. of l’Humanité containing criticism of the “minoritaires”, etc., I would be much obliged.

Friendly greetings,
Yours,
Lenin
