Dear V. A.,

I am enclosing a letter for you and for Guilbeaux. See to it that a copy is sent to Grimm and a reply received from him. Radek has sent Grimm’s letter of protest^[2] to Guilbeaux. The Russian text of the farewell letter^[1] will be sent to you by Axelrod (his new address is: Ottikerstr. 37).

Yours,
Lenin

I enclose Platten’s letter.^[3]
