I strongly advise rewriting the end of your article (Lemberg) , etc. (dropping here into pathos is bad—it strikes a wrong note).

[[SQUIGGLY |]]
Add answer to No. 2 (Izvestia) by points of reconciliation in the “O.C.” between the French social-chauvinists and German social-chauvinists (especially), Bund chauvinism (the crook Ionov) and the Caucasian crooks (for “_unity_” with An!!) (Note or P.S.).

Nadya is extremely surprised that you do not return her the_needed_ (for the C.O.) letter and do not answer!??!

I intend to demand that the answer to Trotsky concerning the Chkheidze group be voted on the Editorial Board of Kommunist.[1]Let them turn it down!
(Then in Sotsial-Demokrat)

Reverting to the trip: from Schüpfheim to Luzern there is also a descent—you can probably make it without pedalling!

I am sending 3 things for the C.O. Who is going to get in touch with the printing shop? Write.
