I am sending you Radek’s letter and his report.^[2] Return the latter to him as soon as you can (with criticism: it’s weakish. Not a word about our pamphlet,^[1] about defence of Nasha Zarya by Axelrod, etc.).

You have a lot of assistants—get them to make a copy of Radek’s report.

I am sending you the plan of leaflets: return as soon as possible.^[3]

Best regards,
Lenin

N.B. [[ __ _ _ ]]
Ask Inessa whether she took from me Journal de Genève^[4] with an article by Romain Rolland! For God’s sake, search everything everywhere to find it.
