10/IV.1922

Dear Comrade Varga:

Unfortunately I am still ill and unable to work. Please reprint only my articles (the old ones); extracts from my spring 1918 article[1](already printed in the pamphlet on the tax in kind[2]) would be important. Perhaps, too (by way of exception), some passages from my speech at the 1922 Party Congress: but I myself have been unable to read the speech in the press: the whole thing might be terribly distorted. Please make sure that you show me beforehand the extracts (well edited by some competent comrade!) you intend to reprint.[3]

Best regards,
Yours,
Lenin
