Comrade Rovio,

Will you kindly pass the enclosed letter to Smilga (only personally, not by post).^[1]

The comrade handing you this letter will be returning very soon: send the remaining newspapers with him and anything else that has been received for me.

Did you forward on to the north what I gave you to be handed over to our Swedish friends?^[2] Please answer through the bearer.

My best regards,
Yours,
K. Ivanov
