Dear Mikh. Nik.,

I received your postcard and two hundred francs, which I have forwarded to Zinoviev (I received 869 frs.=500 rubles   from Petrograd), i.e., apparently the whole fee; unless part of it is payment for the agrarian work.^[1] It is very, very sad that intrigants are working next to the “boss”^[2] of the publications against publications!!...

My sincere regards,
V. Ulyanov
