I dashed off the previous sheet the day before yesterday in answer to your letter with questions, but I didn’t want to send it without amplifying it.

However I was so busy that I had no time to do it until this evening.

I hope we shall be starting out on Wednesday—together with you, I hope.

Grigory was here. We have arranged to travel together.

I trust you have received the money (100 frs.) sent this morning by express.

We have more money for the journey than I thought, enough for 10–12 persons. The comrades in Stockholm have been a great help.

It is quite possible that the majority of the workers in Petrograd are now social-patriots....

We shall fight.

The war will agitate for us.

A thousand greetings. Au revoir.

Yours,
Lenin
