20. IX. 1920
Comrade Lezhava
Comrade Lezhava,
You should urgently see Zimmerman and raise the following in the Politbureau:
Platten through his courier (Zimmerman, a Communist from Switzerland, who is now here and leaves tomorrow, 21/IX) asks
for his mandate as trade representative of the R.S.F.S.R. in Switzerland to be continued and confirmed, as this
1) will help him, Flatten, to be released from prison (he has already begun to serve his 6–month sentence) ahead of time;
2) will strengthen his position in the communist movement.
Platten must be helped with money: he is in dire straits.
