Dear Comrade Tomsky:
I shall fulfil your request with great pleasure.[2] Please write me whether or not there are any special subjects that you want me to deal with in my letter. I have fallen very far behind, and don’t know whether it is all right to confine myself to a general and plain message of greetings, or whether I should discuss more or less circumstantially any special subject.[1]
With warm communist greetings   to the whole Presidium,
Lenin
