Dear, sweet Mimosa,[1]

I ask you very much to go away for treatment, do not postpone it. You must not miss the chance. When you return it will be easy to arrange a job for you. You absolutely must go.

The Beer plan is an excellent one. Try also to get Schlüter on Chartism (in German);[3] it appeared after Beer and corrected that opportunist. A very good booklet could be written about Beer and Schlüter. Drop me a line in reply.

Party Congresses” is also a good subject (in addition to the minutes, various booklets[2] are needed, I do not even approximately remember which ones). If you do write, send me the draft and we can discuss it.

I embrace you very fondly.

V. Ul.


Notes

[1] Mimosa was one of the Party nicknames used by Lenin’s sister Maria Ulyanova.—Ed.

[2] Lenin’s “Report” on the Stockholm Congress is in my possession quite by chance, and nothing else.... Too little!—Lenin

[3] Lenin recommended these books to his sister Maria because she intended writing a book on the British working-class movement.
