Dear Friend,
You no doubt know how the Brussels conference ended? The Polish opposition went over to the liquidators!
We are now in for a period of betrayals, but it will not alter anything.
Obviously, we shall not mess about with a “joint congress”—the liquidators+Rosa+the Alexinskys+the Plekhanovs.[1]
How is Samoilov’s health? Is he really on the mend? Will he be well for Vienna? (By the way, are you preparing for Vienna? Answer me at length.) Write me about Samoilov in greatest possible detail.
How did they find his stomach?
Regards to the family,
Yours,
Lenin
