Written before February 2,1921 · First published in 1930 in the book Na boyevom postu. Sbornik k shestidesyatiletlyu D. B. Ryazanova (Collection for D. B. Ryazanov’s Sixtieth Birthday), Moscow. Printed from the original. · page 80

Comrade Ryazanov:

Do you at the library have a collection of all the letters of Marx and Engels from the newspapers? from separate magazines?

For example, about materialism in Leipzieger Volkszeitung, 1894?

The one from Vorwärts about Beesley^[1] ? (it may not be spelled quite that way: English professor, Comtist, who knew Marx?)

And similar other things.

Is there a catalogue of all the letters of Marx and Engels?

Could I have it to go over for about a week, i.e., the catalogue?

Yours,
Lenin
