Dear Friend,

We have just received your postcard, and I hasten to answer it, as the P. O. will soon close. You are not very pleased with the “crowd” of Samovarchik’s friends,[1] but this young “crowd” is in raptures over you: that’s what Samovarchik himself writes in their own words. I congratulate you heartily on the success and wish you still more of it in future. You are not interested in politics, but you do sympathise with France: we have excellent information concerning the split among the German socialists and on how things are going with the International Socialists of Germany. This news is in favour of France.

I wish you again all the very best. I congratulate you on your success and send my best regards—so does Olga.

Yours,
Lenin


Notes

[1] Apparently this refers to the young French socialists, friends of G. I. Safarov (Samovarchik), who lived in Paris at the time.
